HikaShop credit card payment plugin

Hi,

Do I need any other plugins or subscriptions anywhere to use this plugin? Because obviously when using this payment method the credit card numbers will have to be checked against a database somewhere. Is this free? Can I use this HikaShop plugin out of the box and it will work? Or how does this work exactly. Does it credit the card owner's account automatically, like when using Paypal? Or do I have to perform the transaction myself using the supplied credit card information?

Thanks.

Okay, thanks for the answer. That's what I expected.

I already use the normal Paypal plugin. How is the Paypal Pro different? Does it not require the customer to have a Paypal account? Ie., he can just use his credit card to pay without signing into a Paypal account? Is that a service I have to pay or register for with Paypal then, or can I just enable the plugin and use it like that?

I'm sorry if these are dumb questions, I've only ever used Paypal methods and thought anything else required a paid subscription with payment gateways.

EDIT: nevermind, just looked at it and it just requires a Paypal Pro account. I'm not sure our company has that yet but I'll look into it.

Thanks again for the answers.

Ah, perfect, I don't need the Paypal Pro plugin then.

Thanks!

I'll be upgrading to the Business version next week.
