Can uShop validate credit card numbers?
YES! Just set the “validate” parameter in the order applets to “yes”. Q) How does uShop validate credit card numbers? A) Based on the selected credit card, uShop 1) Checks the number’s prefix, 2) Verifies the number of digits in the number, and 3) Performs a MOD 10 checksum on the number. No external resource/service is required for this functionality. Q) What if I don’t accept credit card orders? A) No problem. The “payment” parameter of the order applets allow you to list only those payment methods that you accept. Q) Is there a way to request no payment information at all? A) YES! We have added the uShopOrderContact applets which do not request any payment information at all. Q) Is there a way to have the customer print out the order and just fax it to the store owner? A) YES! Since not all browsers allow you to print Java applets, we provided the uShopPrintButtonCGI applet and the uShopPrintFormCGI applet, which allow customers to generate a printout via a CGI-generated .html page.
