This is my first foray into credit card processing so I have been reading up on it quite a bit.<BR /><BR />Let me describe what I am trying to do. I am in the process of building a POS application (WinForms) that receives all it's data from my mvc3 based web service.<BR /><BR />I want to include a credit card swipe &amp; receipt printer with this solution. My thinking here is that I have the client app collect all relevant info (cc#, expiration date, name, etc) and call up to my webservice. Once I am in my webservice I would then call out to Authorize.Net, making a card present transaction.<BR /><BR />Am I missing anything here? Is it ok to make card present transaction from a web server? Anything to watch out for? Should I be looking at AIM (Advanced Integration Method) instead?
