True cascade billing - who offers it? - GoFuckYourself.com

vicki · 04-14-2005, 12:58 PM

A group of webmasters and I were talking in Phoenix about the old fashioned cascade billing where:
if a transaction is declined through one processor, the same transaction is immediately tried through the secondary processor etc

example:
transaction is declined through ccbill - so ...
transaction is immediately and automatically sent through epoch's processing
or to a merchant gateway to try for approval

From what I understand that is no longer the working model. Now cascade billing means the vendor has to manually switch from one processor to another but NOT use both in combination, is this correct?

Are there any sw packages that allow for the old fashioned cascade model hiding out there that I don't know of?

"true" cascade processing cannot be done with 3rd party processors, you would need your own merchant account.

well thats not a problem since I supply the merchant accounts but I was wondering if there are sw solutions inplace for this type of thing?

Hi

I was told you can do this through Netbilling and a secondary gateway using MPA.

Well in my understanding, the surfer/potential member has to re-enter his CC info, since visa did not allow to copy this info to another form without user interaction. Am I correct?

I'm not 100% sure how it works but I think they pass the cc info through a secure socket so he does not have to re-enter it. This can only be done if the merchant is using an API, not a payment form hosted by the billing company.
