I am looking at merchant software to take credit cards. In your past reply to another user you suggested PGP. Could you be so kind to explain a little more in detail of the process of PGP and credit card charging. Also, do you know if I still need to have a merchant account with a bank or can PGP send the funds directly to my checking account? Thank you very much. Any feedback that you provide will be greatly appreciated. -Max ----- Original Message ----- From: Alex Heiphetz To: Branko Kmetec Cc: Sent: Saturday, April 24, 1999 4:52 PM Subject: Re: electronic commerce > At 04:30 PM 4/24/99 +0200, you wrote: > >Anybody knows some usefull resources on budilding online shops?
