[LRUG] Credit card processing in the UK

[George Sheppard]

We've used the Realex (http://www.realexpayments.co.uk/) RealVault system for this before, it worked out pretty nicely. The APIs are pretty straightforward and Realex's support team are quite helpful when needed too. You capture the card details once, submit a new payer / card request with a nickname to their API and then for later payments you just submit the nickname / payer reference to take more payments. Their API has a 'fraud score' system too as well as UK address checking iirc.

Any recommendation on a merchant, or however you'd call such a provider, that would store the CC number for me and allow me to place a charge of variable amounts every month? Yeah, I know, the trickiest of the cases. The most promising companies offering these types of services that I found all fail at the geographic level: they are US-centric and can't operate in the UK.
