The CC-TRX Credit Card Door 1.0
for RemoteAccess
Copyright 1991 by Randy Blackmond
All Rights Reserved
The CC-TRX Credit Card Door allows you to accept credit card purchases on
your BBS! The transactions can be for products or services such as share-
ware registrations, BBS subscriptions or merchandise! The door is fully
sysop configurable so you may accept any credit card for any item!
Features:
1) Up to 10 credit cards can be configured
2) Up to 50 transaction items can be configured
3) A sales tax (or other markup) percentage can be configured per item
4) A shipping address prompt can be configured per item
5) Users' security can be upgraded per item
6) A voice phone number prompt can be configured globally
INSTALLATION
------------
The first thing you need to do is make sure the RA environment variable
is set via your AUTOEXEC.BAT or BBS batch file. This is done by assigning
your RA system directory to the RA variable with the following DOS command:
SET RA=<directory>
For example, my RA system directory is G:\RA so my Set line would be as
follows:
SET RA=G:\RA\
Note the trailing backslash!
Next, copy CCTRX.EXE to either your RA system directory or create a
separate directory for CC-TRX.
Using your favorite text editor, you will create a configuration file
for CC-TRX (any name, your choice).
The CFG file should be entered as follows:
Line 1: Your Name (Sysop's Name)
Line 2: Your Registration Number (0 if unregistered)
Line 3: Path to your RA system directory, e.g. C:\RA
Line 4: Path to EXITINFO.BBS, e.g. C:\RA
Line 5: Y or N - Prompt for voice phone number?
Line 6: Number of transaction items to follow
* Line 7: Item Name
* Line 8: Dollar Amount (NO dollar signs!), e.g. 20.00
* Line 9: Markup (tax) percentage for this item, e.g. 7% would be .07
* Line 10: Y or N - Prompt for Shipping Address on this item?
* Line 11: New Security Level for this item - 0 for No Change
Lines 7 through 11 would be repeated for each item you wish to configure.
Next Line: Number of credit cards to follow
* Next Line: Credit Card Name 1
"* Next Line" would be repeated for each credit card you wish to accept.
See the included CCTRX.CFG for an example of a config file.
Add CC-TRX to the menu of your choice with the following Optional Data
line (if CCTRX.EXE resides in your RA system directory):
CCTRX.EXE CCTRX.CFG *M
Note that the name of the config file is passed to CC-TRX. The *M is
optional, but will ensure there is plenty of memory available for CC-TRX
to use so it is recommended.
If you created a separate directory for CC-TRX, you will need to create
a batch file containing the commands to change to the CC-TRX directory
and execute CC-TRX. This method can be used with either a type 7 or type
15 shell.
All transactions made in the CC-TRX Door are written to a text file named
CCTRX.TRX.
There are four optional, external display files you may create to be used
by CC-TRX. They follow the ASC/ANS naming convention for RA display files,
but must reside in the same directory as CCTRX.EXE. The files are displayed
with More prompting. They are as follows:
CCWELC.A* - This file is displayed immediately after the opening CC-TRX
title screen.
CCSAVED.A* - This file is displayed after a successful transaction has
been saved.
CCCARD.A* - This file is displayed before the user is prompted to select
which credit card they wish to use.
CCTRANS.A* - This file is displayed after the user selects "Perform Credit
Card Transaction" from the CC-TRX menu.
These files can include some of the control-codes used by RA such as the
clear-screen, pause, user name, etc. Those which are not supported will
be displayed as N/A.
SUPPORT/SUGGESTIONS
-------------------
As with all of my shareware products, I strongly urge users to offer sug-
gestions for further enhancement of my software. Without suggestions, a
program will whither and die. WITH suggestions, a program can grow and
become an even more useful tool!
If you have any problems setting up CC-TRX, have a bug to report or want
to offer a suggestion for future versions, you can contact me in several
ways: Via FIDO NetMail at 1:381/70, Via FIDO EchoMail in the RA_UTILS,
DOORWARE or SHAREWRE echos, Via RIME EchoMail in the Doors, Shareware,
Sysops or RemoteAccess conferences, call my BBS at 505-589-0319 USR DS and
leave a message or call my voice line at 505-589-0317 24 hours (answering
machine on duty).
