[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Charging credit cards via PC

rg@msel.unh.edu (Roger Gonzalez) (03/21/91)

What procedure must be done to check/charge credit card numbers
via computer?  I assume its doable, since companies like Compuserve
seem to do it.  I'm investigating this to see if having non-USPS
methods of payment would increase subscriptions to the extra features
of a BBS I cosysop.  Also, since its only $10/yr, would it be economically
feasable to accept credit cards?
