Re: CyberCash and how Minivend is screwed up

["Bill" <bill@webteam.net>]

I haven't been following these messages, but here are my thoughts from what
I see below.

Credit Card Auto should be turned off if you are using CyberCash.  CyberCash
does your credit card validation for you.

All I did to get cybercash working with Minivend was to follow the
documentation, exactly, AND make sure you set

mv_cyber_mode = mauthonly in an mv_click scratch variable on the final
checkout page,

I believe the simple demo will work by turning off credit card auto and
setting
the proper cybercash variables in the catalog.cfg.  If all else fails, this
is a good place to start.
