Credit authorization can be handled by many services, but some may be preferable to others.
- As an example, CyberCash returns a “ticket” that can be stored, instead of the entire credit card information. This helps reduce the scope of liability, but introduces other problems. (Backorders..)
Product fulfillment is usually the biggest problem to handle. Companies will often times need to find a distributor to handle shipping, and these systems usually can’t be directly accessed. The problem that arises is backorders, and legally not being able to capture payment until a product is shipped.
