If a merchant provider is not created, can the application be modified to send an email to someone with an order without having to go through some external credit card system?
As it stands right now the application already sends an e-mail to the site administrator (or whoever) notifying them that a sale has just occurred and to the customer, verifying their purchase. The credit card processing tag can be taken out with no problems. All that the Credit Card processing tag does is recall the credit card number and billing information that the customer has already put in and processes it.
