Hi all,

I'm happy to say that after four crazy months (from the original decision to introduce CC processing) and two payment gateways later, Lizardsoft finally has a merchant account and credit card processing. At some point, probably in a couple months when things are less hectic (releasing product of 2 years of work 3 days from now), I'll write up the full story of this adventure since there's a lot of knowledge that I would be happy to pass on. Overall it has been a very educational and rewarding experience, despite the length of time and obstacles encountered.

To celebrate this important step, to break the new system in, and to thank everyone on these boards for creating such a terrific community, not to mention giving me a lot of excellent feedback in several threads, Dexterity forum members can now get 10GB/month of bandwidth free with any package purchased (even the cheapest one!). Simply enter NDEXTE as the promotional code when ordering. Offer valid from June 26, 2004 to July 20, 2004. Limit one per customer. This means that you can get the following:

If you have any specific questions about the CC processing or about hosting services, I'll happily answer them. We are using InternetSecure for the CC processing (Terin on these forums uses them as well). Thus far they have been very professional and security-minded, so we are quite confident in this choice.
