edit: and you're right, only having paypal.com as an option, even though they take CCs, will slaughter cart-to-conversion ratios.
I am going to probably setup a merchant account in the future but for now I think the best solution is to pass the variables to an oscommerce shopping cart through the url, kind of like how you can pass variables to PayPal's shopping cart through the url. I just need to figure out how to do this and what if any modifications I need to make to the cart to accept variables from a url. I want to offer my customers more options than just credit card so with oscommerce I can always implement my merchant account into it at a later time without changing the order product urls around.
