New Certified Sage Pay Payment Modules for osCommerce Online Merchant v2.2

Viernes, Agosto 28th, 2009

Sage Pay and osCommerce have partnered to release certified versions of the Sage Pay Form, Server and Direct payment modules to the osCommerce community. This partnership enables merchants to securely process card transactions with the UK’s largest indepenent payment service provider whilst utilising Sage Pay’s latest protocol and product offerings.

The Sage Pay Server module has been updated to include the recently released iframe capability which offer merchants a seamless checkout flow without the customer perception of being redirected away to a hosted payment page. This solution also minimises PCI compliance requirements as no card data is ever stored, processed or transmitted from the merchant’s website.

The certified modules will be included as standard modules in the osCommerce Online Merchant v2.2 release and are available now as add-ons for existing store owners from v2.2 Milestone 2 onwards.

The certified modules are available for free at the osCommerce Add-Ons site:

To compliment the release of the new modules, Sage Pay are offering all osCommerce merchants an introductory 3 months free gateway fees for new Sage Pay sign ups, designed to save osCommerce users money on their transaction processing costs.

OFFER: 3 months free unlimited Sage Pay processing when you sign up to Sage Pay – Saving a minimum of £60! Promotion code “osc223″ Apply here!

The Registration of the “osCommerce” Trademark in the UK

Miércoles, Agosto 19th, 2009

The name “osCommerce” has been registered as a Trademark in the United Kingdom by eCommerce Ventures Ltd. The Trademark registration number 2512693 can be found here:

http://www.ipo.gov.uk/tm/t-find/t-find-number?detailsrequested=C&trademark=2512693

This is a continued effort of a derivative group titled “The New osCommerce Project” (now “The osCommerce Project”) to try and take over and own the success of osCommerce which we all have, as a community, worked hard on in the past 9 years since the start of osCommerce in March 2000.

This is being addressed legally and are confident that we will prevail in defending and protecting our rights.

If you have been addressed by eCommerce Ventures Ltd concerning their registration of the “osCommerce” Trademark, please contact legal@oscommerce.com and forward the relevant communication means you were contacted with.

A topic on our community support forums exists where you can provide support and feedback:

We will keep the community officially informed of our legal defense through our blogs and newsletter.

Thank you for all of your continued support!
