I don't know of any Web Services modules available for Clipper, but I
really haven't looked. I may be doing such a project in the coming
months, so I'm interested.
I did adapt our Clipper application to use VeriSign's Payflow Plus. It
was pretty easy, VeriSign provides a variety of tools for the
transmission of the data. I just shell out to their Windoze command
line tool, to which I pass a string and redirect the respose to a
file, which I then just read with memoread() and parse. They also
provide command line and shared libs for Win and *n*x - very flexible.
The hard part was getting our accounting department, the bank, the
credit card processor, to do what they needed to do to get the
necessary accounts set up. I wish I would have pushed a little harder
to use the credit card processor that VeriSign recommended...
