Simple webforms on your website
While shopping carts provide a full online store front and store management solution neatly wrapped up in a single out-of-the-box complete website package, you of course don't need to use a shopping cart to accept credit cards from your website if you don't want to.
Many people have well crafted websites and may only sell a handful of products or services. In these situations you can easily use a simple webform from within your own website pages to communicate to your secure e-Path payment gateway. You are probably using this already for your website's contact us page.
Configuring a simple webform processing scriptThere are thousands of different webform processing scripts available, they are comonly used to process typical 'contact us' contact information. Mostly all of them give you the ability to "redirect" a customer after they have submitted information. This will usually be to a 'thank you' page acknowledgeing the customer webform submission.
It is this 'thank-you' page on your own site that is going to be changed slightly to shoot off your customers to e-Path with the correct parameter values all propgated. In fact your 'thank you' page becomes the last confirmation page prior to 'check out', i.e. to the payment setp.
