[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] ***SPAM*** Re: ***SPAM*** Re: Implementation

[Brandon W. Uhlman]

In earlier versions of Evergreen, there was a driver for handling  
credit card payments from authorize.net, an (apparently) well-known  
credit card payment manager in the US. That wouldn't work for us in  
Canada, so I haven't followed that part of the development; maybe  
someone south of the 49th would know more about that part of  
Evergreen's functionality.

The beauty with open source software is that, if handling payments  
through a particular bank or payment processor is important to you,  
you can develop the necessary software to make Evergreen interface  
with that bank if you have the necessary expertise, or consider it  
part of the expense of migrating to have that functionality developed  
by outside professionals.
