I always thought most of the monks here do e-commerce work. That's one of
the main reasons I posted the
GnuPG tutorial and it's also
the reason why I read (and re-read and re-read and will probably read again)
perrin's great
EToys
article and Salon's
Industrial Strength Publishing
Like tachyon noted, the only real difficult part of e-commerce is the
CC architecture and even that's not terribly difficult with the good work
Ivan and others are doing with Business::OnlinePayment. The
tough part there is working through the business side of the house to
set up the necessary partnerships (payment gateway, clearing-house, and
bank).
So I say, use perlmonks as your forum for e-commerce. Post your questions,
meditations, and snippets here. Even if there not purely perl, I think most
monks would see value in meditations on e-commerce especially if it clears
the haze that surrounds credit card processing - anyone up for doing a
meditation that compares and contrast payment gateways?
