Yeah, that is the way it usually is but this is a special secure provider.
Credit cards are not processed live, the info is just stored in a secure
area for retrieval later. It is a good and very cheap service ($5.00 nz per
month) and ideal for the tourism industry in NZ as tours and activities can
be cancelled due to weather and proves a nightmare when dealing with refunds
etc. Much better to be able to process the card after the tour has
commenced.

Therefore there doesn't need to be any approval code. The secure site just
forwards an email with the booking info and prompts to log in and retrieve
the credit card info. We want clients to make a booking but realise that
people can get cold feet when it comes to giving out credit card info and
therefore need to have an email sent before they get to the booking area so
we can personally contact them.

You'll see how it works if you go to
www.adventurecanterbury.co.nz/booking.htm and test it. Any bookings just go
to me for testing purposes anyway. Cleaver js hardcoded in the page also.
