<b>Creating my own API</b>
I am a system developer for SUBSTANCE in Oslo, Norway. Right now we are working on http://www.headlight.no 's new websites. We want to implement credit card payment method. We have contacted the BBS (The Terminal of Norwegian Banks), and they can offer us an API and an API Gateway at the cost of 1,000$ (7000 kr) plus 50$ (350 kr) a month. I think this is quite expensive, considering the fact that you can make your own API script using the CURL (libCurl) functions of PHP to send information (order information, credit card information and such) using different protocols (e.g. HTTPS, FTP, etc.), and a simple script to handle the returned information. This is also making the process look much more professional.

My question goes out to all the experienced Norwegian PHP developers out there. Does anyone know if this is possible (allowed by BBS)?

Hi Marius,

No, that's not allowed by BBS. The BBS Netterminal framework is easy to use, very secure, recognised by users and reasonable priced, so I can't see any reason not to use it. It also provides added safety to users with VISA and MasterCard, and it's possible to use BankAxept, Diners and American Express cards.

I have not used the PHP API my self, but have made a similar API in Perl with the same functions. Both use the same C API from BBS.
