    Hi,

    I'm new to Ecommerce and have a website that will be selling a travel package. 2checkout won't allow us to sell this product, so can anyone recommend a 3rd party processor that works for Canada and also allows intangibles?

    Second, we need to have the customer fill out a detailed registration form before making their purchase, and then have all the registration and payment information e-mailed to us. What's the easiest way to do this? Would a shopping cart be required?

    If anyone can just point me in the right direction or give me some tips it would be great. 2 minutes of your time could save me a whole day's worth of research. Rep to you!

    Thanks,
    Paul

    Shopping carts are user friendly.

    It may be hard finding a processor that supports intangible travel services. Search google for "High risk merchant accounts"
    I believe you'll find what you're looking for.

    We use Volusion Shopping Cart for our businesses, and quite happy with it. You might find it useful for your business also. Since you will not have many products, your monthly payment will be very low.

    Many shopping cart solutions (such as Yahoo Store) takes a percentage of your sales, it may come out a huge bill at the end of the month.

    Unlike others, Volusion charges a monthly fixed rate.

    You might read more at my detailed review about Volusion if you are interested.
