[$code or die]

You are right. You can get set up with SecureTrading very quickly. I have done it several times. I have used both the XPay and it's COM predecessor. Both of them were more work to integrate with a "custom" shopping cart solution than WorldPay. Why? because with WorldPay, THEY handle the actual credit card transaction through payment pages. There is no XPay equivalent (or atleast there wasn't last time I used them)

There are advantages and disadvantes to both solutions. It ultimately depends on what you're trying to do. Personally, I prefer XPay, but it IS more work. At least it works a lot better than the COM solution did. I had so many problems with that and the documentation was extremely poor. XPay documentation is excellent.

Please remember that I wrote that reply nearly a year ago and some information is out of date. Bottom line: Evaluate the solutions. One person's sweet solution is another persons bane

Hi Guys,

If you are looking for secure and efficient payment processing solutions you sholud looking towards Payment Service Provider. For instance E-Clear provides complete card processing service with fraud protection services.
