Sage Pay and osCommerce have partnered to release certified versions of the Sage Pay Form, Server and Direct payment modules to the osCommerce community. This partnership enables merchants to securely process card transactions with the UK’s largest indepenent payment service provider whilst utilising Sage Pay’s latest protocol and product offerings.

The Sage Pay Server module has been updated to include the recently released iframe capability which offer merchants a seamless checkout flow without the customer perception of being redirected away to a hosted payment page. This solution also minimises PCI compliance requirements as no card data is ever stored, processed or transmitted from the merchant’s website.

The certified modules will be included as standard modules in the osCommerce Online Merchant v2.2 release and are available now as add-ons for existing store owners from v2.2 Milestone 2 onwards.

The certified modules are available for free at the osCommerce Add-Ons site:

To compliment the release of the new modules, Sage Pay are offering all osCommerce merchants an introductory 3 months free gateway fees for new Sage Pay sign ups, designed to save osCommerce users money on their transaction processing costs.
