Note: Payment Gateways do not certify 3rd party shopping carts. Shopping carts
program their payment modules to work with the Payment Gateway.
As far as we know there are now over 5200 shopping carts that work with the Fast
Charge Payment Gateway™.
If you do not see Fast Charge listed as a payment gateway you can still use Fast Charge with our Authorizenet Emulator:
DESCRIPTION: The Authorize.Net Emulator allows merchants to use the Authorize.Net payment module that is available in most third party shopping carts. Simply change the ‘POST TO’ URL within the Authorize.Net payment module to point to Fastcharge’s gateway and your account will be up and running within a few minutes.
INSTRUCTIONS:Locate the Authorize.Net Aim Payment Module in your shopping cart and change the ‘POST TO’ URL FROM: https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll TO: https://trans.secure-fastcharge.com/cgi-bin/authorize.cgi
Depending on the shopping cart and it’s payment module you may need to change the post to URL in 1,2 or 3 places. It’s best to find the AIM payment module and then change it everywhere in this file.
Here’s a tip, do a search in the AIM file for “.dll” to help you find the Authorize.net urls to replace with the emulator url.
Admin Settings:
Login to your Admin Panel and open the "Payment Methods" setting for Authorizenet. If it gives you a choice select the AIM module because this will allow customers to stay on your site when they purchase from you. Once you get to the settings you can enter the following information:
- API Login ID: This is your Fastcharge Account ID (FCXXX)
- Transaction Key: This is your Fastcharge “Merchant Pin”
- Mode: We always suggest “Live Mode”
- Gateway URL: If you have this option enter https://trans.secure-fastcharge.com/cgi-bin/authorize.cgi
- MD5 Hash: We now ignore this but you can enter “7gt77lyst555r7677yt”
- Authorize or Capture: We recommend you select Authorize and Capture

with our Authorizenet Emulator find out if you can change the Gateway URL it accesses.
If you can change this to https://trans.secure-fastcharge.com/cgi-bin/authorize.cgi
your cart will work with our gateway. NOTE: We haven't
found any stand alone shopping carts that won't allow
this.

includes a
FREE basic shopping cart wizard option
with each gateway license to process credit cards or
online checks. The free secure shopping cart is for
merchants who have a need for a basic shopping cart
that can total shipping and tax charges. With the web

in under 1 minute and then cut and paste it to your

Oscommerce
Oscommerce is the original open source shopping cart and has 60,000 custom addons developed by users. We used to recommend Oscommerce until we received so much good feedback about Zencart. The difference between oscommerce and Zencart is that Zencart comes with many bells and whistles already installed. Oscommerce has more addons but most of them require advanced coding which the average merchant has trouble with.
OpenCart
OpenCart is an open source shopping cart that has very advanced features such as ? multi currency, multi languages and product reviews etc.. OpenCart makes their money providing support and addon services etc.. They have very good support but a programmer will probably be required to get it installed.

ShopSite
Shopsite is a very good "Paid Cart" that also has a "One Click" activation setting in their admin settings. The downside to Shopsite is it's a little more expensive and not for entry level or growing merchants unless they are prepared to spend a little bit per month for their webhosting but it is very good.
VirtueMart
VirtueMart is a very "hot" Open Source E-Commerce solution to be used together with a Content Management System (CMS) called Joomla!. Joomla! and VirtueMart are written in PHP and can be used in typical PHP/MySQL environments. VirtueMart is what the pros use instead of Wordpress for their content delivery and database management. To use the Fastcharge Payment Gateway with Virtuemart/Joomla there are several options. There is a free module on the Virtuemart support forum, a paid "one click" module for a small fee and the option to use the authnet emulator.
WordPress
Wordpress is a free blog and website publishing program that now has hundreds of shopping carts available as a plugin. Any of these plugins can be edited to work with Fastcharge and very little programming is needed. However, there's a note of caution about Wordpress plugins. Most of these are free to install but most of them require some type of paid service or upgrade to get them to work correctly or only allow a few products.
Magento
Magento is a "free to install" cart that has many features available and is used by many very large companies. It started as an open source shopping cart that has evolved into a pay as you go cart. If a merchant downloads or installs Magento they need to have advanced programming skills or be prepared to pay them for help. We only recommend them because their order management system for larger companies highly recommended by direct marketing, direct mail and very large companies. Magento has the ability receive direct feeds from UPS or Fedex for package tracking and returns etc..
