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.
OFFER: 3 months free unlimited Sage Pay processing when you sign up to Sage Pay – Saving a minimum of £60! Promotion code “osc223″ Apply here!

http://www.ipo.gov.uk/tm/t-find/t-find-number?detailsrequested=C&trademark=2512693
This is a continued effort of a derivative group titled “The New osCommerce Project” (now “The osCommerce Project”) to try and take over and own the success of osCommerce which we all have, as a community, worked hard on in the past 9 years since the start of osCommerce in March 2000.
This is being addressed legally and are confident that we will prevail in defending and protecting our rights.
If you have been addressed by eCommerce Ventures Ltd concerning their registration of the “osCommerce” Trademark, please contact legal@oscommerce.com and forward the relevant communication means you were contacted with.
A topic on our community support forums exists where you can provide support and feedback:

Thank you for all of your continued support!
The community support forums is currently unavailable due to the server experiencing hardware related problems, and will be back online tomorrow.
The maintenance of the server hosting the community support forums also affects the add-ons site where developers will have to wait until the server is back online to be able to upload their add-ons again.
This blogging entry will be updated with further information during the maintenance period.
Update:
The maintenance of the server has completed successfully and is back online in full operation.
