How can I make my payment checkout better?

    I am an independent distributor of discount travel memberships. Now, from my site the customer can enroll and make payment but I have to link to another site and in order to get the credit they must put in my referral number.

    Is there a way I can somehow accept payment through the main site but have my referral id already entered? Or does anyone have any suggestions on how to make the payment checkout procedure better without any liability on my end (as far as charge backs, etc)?

    Here is the enrollment page, you can see how it navigates from here.

    I'm not sure I fully understand but this is what I suggest. Get a merchant account with a shopping cart. Set the products id in your shopping cart control panel as your referral ID.

    No enrollment page link in your thread.

    But that won't help since the company won't be directly receiving the payment. I was thinking maybe that's the only way and every evening or so I will submit the orders to the company but I don't want to deal with the payments. I was just wondering if there was another way, anyone have any ideas to make sure the referral number is entered.

    So they actually pay on their site?

    Yes, if you click on the pay with credit card link on the enroll page it redirects to the companies payment page.

    Set target of payment link as "_parent" so it does not open in a new window. You may also want to create your own payment page using a php include command to open their payment page inside of yours. Send me check out page link and I'll see if I can help.
