Merchant acct w gateway or other 3rd party pr

I have read where you plan to add more Bank Merchant Card processors on your timeframe. Do you know when that might be? I was looking at First Data which I believe is the largest processor for Merchants or Evolution as an alternate 3rd party processor…

Thanks,
Jim

We do have some payment gateways selected for the next major version of s2Member, as well as a new system planned for integrating new payment gateways, but we do not have a solid release date for this. I can tell you that First Data and Evolution are not on this list though, sorry.

If you’d like to have a developer set up an integration on your site between s2Member and one of these payment gateways, this is possible with s2Member’s IPN Proxy Key for your site. You can have a developer pass data into s2Member’s IPN processor just like it was through PayPal with the information provided here:

Thanks Bruce. So, just to confirm, if I use the IPN Proxy Key to utilize First Data, can I still use the built-in PayPal Pro feature in conjunction to strictly handle the PayPal payments ???

I want to separate the credit card payment ‘control’ away from PayPal. That way, PayPal only controls payment money made thru PayPal, and not payment money made thru Credit Cards…

I understand that we would have 2 accounts instead of one, but I gain better control of the money.

Thanks,
jim

Sorry for the delay in response.

Yes, using the PayPal IPN w/ Proxy key will not affect your ability to integrate with any other built-in payment gateways.

You can do this by changing your accept attribute on your Pro Form, and allowing a User to use a different for for checking out with a Credit Card.
