Can anyone tell me what the difference is between viaKLIX and Nova's VirtualMerchant? I was told there was no difference, but when trying to configure the viaKLIX modue to work with VirtualMerchant I've been running into problem after problem. Anyone know if these services are the same, or not?

Thanks,
Clint

Clint,

I just got off the phone with Nova and Costco Exec member services. You'll need to sign up for a new software account. Nova wants to charge existing viaklix users another up front fee to switch you over to MyVirtualMerchant. I was IRATE. I paid $179 exactly 1 year ago to sign up for viaKlix. Now, they want to charge more? Nova says they will likely offer a discount to existing members. I guess they don't understand keeping existing customers happy. I don't want to pay a DIME to change over. I am having some problems with viaklix and other users are too. That's why they are upgrading to the new site. But of course they want to pass the cost to current members. So I complained to the Costco member services. I say, the more complaints there are, the better chance we'll have a free upgrade. They are not even offering Viaklix to new users anymore.

You're right, it looks like the post for the Myvirtualmerchant will be the same as viaklix (same parameter names, etc), but with a few different values like the Account ID and user key.

Again, call Costco member services 800-220-6000 and let your voice be heard for a free upgrade!

Hi Clint,

The interfaces between the two are significantly different. Recently, I have been following up on some postings regarding the viaKLIX / Virtual Merchant stuff. I'm porting my Zen versions of both viaKLIX2 and Virtual Merchant Enhanced Payment Gateway modules over to osC and wondered if there would be any interest in beta testing?

Drop me a note if you'd be interested.

Thanks,

Todd

Todd - I have a need for myvirtualmerchant gateway now. Do you have one working? There is a dearth of these - only real option I saw was $50 one at: http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_...sing/more1.html

Thanks
