I took a look and the products offered at that website and they look promising. &nbsp;I'll pass the information off to my client and we'll see how it goes.<br />

Hey there,<br />
<br />
One of my clients wants to accept payments for a product he offers. &nbsp;The thing is, he needs accurate shipping quotes based on the shipping address. &nbsp;I looked into paypal and while you can prepopulate forms using POST name/value pairs, it turns out accurate shipping quotes are only available to U.S-based merchants. &nbsp;So scratch that.<br />
<br />
He then told me to look into authorize.net to accept payments. &nbsp;It seems great on first glance but I can't find any option for shipping quotes other than using third-party e-commerce packages. &nbsp; That would require me to dive into the API and I'm not prepared to do that until I figure out exactly what I'm doing.<br />
<br />
So, any e-commerce whizzes out there? &nbsp; I'm in a 2-year web programming course right now but we don't get to e-commerce until the 4th semester so the timing of this sort of sucks. &nbsp;He's the client and he wants what he wants. &nbsp;With a little help I'll just have to pound this thing out.<br />
<br />
Any considerations are much appreciated
