I need a couple of answers, please. I need to know if E-Commerce can handle this and/or how much might be entailed in modifying a portion of E-Commerce to handle such a situation. Drupal 4.7.x
(1) I need to set up a package of products where each product is time oriented date - arrival date must be entered. Price will be determined by date.
(2) I need to just record the CC# not authorize (we have a in house software that does this)

1) Yes this can be done, You
1) Yes this can be done, You can add the date field much as a part of the data that is submitted to the cart much like the donate module, and then when the productapi('adjust_price') is called you can calculate the new price based upon this date. Take a look at the donate module as it more or less does this.
2) No we do not have a payment gateway which does this, since it is a very insecure method of handling cc information. You would need to develop this yourself, and we will not accept this method of payment since it is so insecure. If you could get the web server to pass the transaction directly through to your inhouse system then you can keep it very secure, but again you would need to build this custom gateway yourself.
