You can view our most recent site at http://www.mygamewear.com  This store
started out as the consturct demo for code comparision but does not resemble
it much anymore :)  *Anything* is possible with IC!

Who is your merchant account through?  You'd be best off to use a payment
gateway like Verisign, CyberCash, or AuthorizeNet, there are modules already
for these gateways.  Your merchant account will need to be compatible with
the gateway you choose.  The system is setup so that when the user presses
'Checkout' the info is sent from IC to Payment Gateway (through a module).
The response codes are then sent back to IC which interprets what to do
(accept the order or fail with an error).  The transaction is logged with
the gateway which ultimately ends up in your merchant account.  Good luck!
