Hello, I am reviewing Optigoldisp presently for our company, I have a couple of questions regarding the payment module. We use a mix of realtime and per month batch billing (will do batch billing when eventually deciding upon the billing software.) Basically we will pro rate to the end cycle of each month and bill all clients on the 20th of each month. This is where the batch billing will be processed, on the 20th of the month. We have always used online php/mysql based billing software (quite scared about using a product that we can't just login to the server and modify some code when we need a new module) but need to move to a system such as Optigoldisp as we are venturing into providing dialup and dsl for our clients. Optigoldisp looks great from an initial look at the demo, even without filemaker pro (which is a shame it needs that even to setup a demo, I'm going to persist looking at it though, as it looks so good.) The batch billing software that I am currently looking at works as follows, just wanted to run this past anyone who is running Optigoldisp and maybe uses their own payment modules (rather than authorize.net etc as we can't use those in nz) The realtime payments for use on the customer sign up, (web server install of optigold) I assume can be easily integrated (I looked at the setup module on the workstation / database server) and it seems that we can configure the POST commands and configure the response to accept our real time card processing merchant provider. Will Optigold work with this method of batch processing, if anyone can provide any insight would be appreciated. http://www.paymentexpress.com/default.asp?id=s_batchbilling The PX Batch Processor is client application that sits on the company network and monitors specific directories for files to process. When a file is detected in the directory, the PX Batch Processor checks the file to make sure it has not already been processed. If it is a valid file, it begins processing immediately and produces an End of Batch file when the job is complete. The billing batch file can be created either manually through a data entry client or automatically from within an accounting, billing or ERP system. This file, contains the customer credit card details, dollar amount to be charged and merchant reference numbers (e.g. customer invoice number, etc.). This file is put into a specified directory on your company network and the batch processor finds the new file, and immediately begins processing the file. Once the batch is complete a file is generated that can be imported back into the accounting/billing system for reconciliation. The file clearly separates out ACCEPTED and DECLINED transactions. If this is possible to be done with optigoldisp, then it would seem that it is exactly what we need. Thanks in advance for any pointers/advice/answers.
I'm sure your processing gateway could be added to CCAuthorize, so that part shouldn't be an issue, as far as needing to make a module.
Hi Shawn, Thanks for your reply. Just to clarify, "I'm sure your processing gateway could be added to CCAuthorize, so that part shouldn't be an issue, as far as needing to make a module." Does this mean that ccauthorize will natively support (by us entering parameters for the processing within ccauthorize config) or is something that can be added at a later date, such as Optigold supporting that payment processor as one of the included ones?
