Ecommerce with Beanstream

Submitted by aufumy on Sun, 2010-09-12 07:21

Ecommerce can be a complicated topic because it is expected to take into account the company's method of selling, marketing, inventory and processing cash.

The basics of communicating with an e-commerce gateway such as Beanstream, who also happens to reside in Victoria, Canada, is to provide a bunch of information that gets encoded to https://www.beanstream.com/scripts/process_transaction.asp via curl.


$merchant_id = '000000000'; // Replace with your merchant id
$sBeanstream = "requestType=BACKEND";
