How BeanStream works
When the customer decides to pay for their order she will enter her billing information and credit card number and then click the order button. Once the customer completes the transaction with RealCart both you and your customer receive an email from BeanStream informing you both of the transaction.
At this point you should verify that this is a legitimate order. (Make sure it isn’t a fake email.) If you are convinced of it’s validity then you are free to fill the order. Once a day your sales are automatically deposited into your company bank account.
If you do not receive an email you should log in to BeanStream’s Merchant Login Area and go into your email settings and check that the Send email option is checked Yes instead of No.
About the response pages
If you do not have access to cgi capabilities on your web server don’t panic. There is no need to try to find a new ISP. Although BeanStream supports return posting to cgi scripts it is not mandatory that you utilize this feature. If your business resides outside the USA you should consider WorldPay as BeanStream only works in the USA.
RealCart offers full support for users of the BeanStream or WorldPay gateways. Look into one of these gateways or one of the other compatible gateways RealCart works with.
