December 10, 200817 yr hi everyone im trying to set up a site with a similar sign up form to that of mobile phone companies utility companies etc. 1. select your plan, 2. you check the cart 3 you enter you details etc yea 4 THE HARD PART, the direct debit form. how is this done? is it an official thing form the banks or what? 5 you check everything etc and submit. I also need this to form a service contact, I know customers need 7days cooling off period for distance selling but do they need to sign a service contract or can it be signed digitally? also, tbh im not to sure how to create a sign up form. so basically is anyone aware of any resources which can help me? i have looked through google for a few hours but i cant find anything, maybe im crap at google or searching for the wrong things?? can someone help???
December 10, 200817 yr If they're using a 3rd party payment processor some offer recurring payments, I know Worldpay do. If they're using their own Merctant account and card payment facilities you need to talk to their banks tecchies for the API which you'll need to integrate into your own script.
December 11, 200817 yr Hi this might helpWhite paper about online direct debits Had a quick google myself and it seems to be very complex. have you thought about a 3rd party company to handle the processing for you, Probably not cheapest option but may be far less hassle found these guys Idirect have no idea if they are any good so please be cautious, at the very least they might be able to point you in the right direction. Also have you considered going to your own bank and having a chat with the manager?, they may be able to give you a phone number or URL that will be able to help.
December 11, 200817 yr Author hey guys thanks for your help. last night while drinking a martini in bed i remembered worldpay i used to be insured with ecar who used the worldpay system. i think il look more into them. thanks again
December 11, 200817 yr Why don't you just use PayPal Subscriptions? Simple and straightforward recurring payments! PayPal Subscriptions
December 12, 200817 yr Author ahh yes the ole paypal. tbh i didnt know they had a recurring billing system. they seem easier and cheaper to implement and they have the plus of being known by everyone! thanks!
