eCommerce & FileMaker

[Steve Kayner]

First post in quite a while, so I hope this is the right place for my question.

Around Y2K we started planning an online license renewal system that would tie in to our FMP databases. At that time, the tools we were looking at were Lasso/Dreamweaver, eAuthorize, etc. We didn't get beyond the initial planning stage.

Now that Mac OS X is well proven, and FileMaker's advanced (!), I'm thinking the tools of choice may have changed, and I'm not sure what the state of the art is today. I'm a Mac guy, so I'd prefer to stick with what I know.

We'll probably hire out the development, but I need something that I can maintain, and something that can scale into greater functionality. Initially, it would only need to handle about 6500 renewals per year. It needs credit card acceptance capability.

Any suggestions on the tools, hardware, etc. for this kind of project?

Steve.
