I was hoping to build a responsive website in Freeway Pro that say a client/customer could make a payment say for a rental storage unit, but also look up their account details (i.e. current due, contract expires/renews date, etc.) . I assume just taking a credit card payment is relatively easy, getting account details to come up, eludes me, so any recommendations would be most welcomed.

Yes there are various actions including Paypal buttons, E buy actions that will allow you to take CC payments.

However if you wish to interrogate a database (which is essentially what you will need to do) to retrieve customer information then you will need to create one first.

Then you will have to make sure the information is protected from casual observers behind some security.

This is not a trivial task and one that is best suited for someone with PHP and MySql experience. If you do not have that then my advice would be to either pay someone to code it for you or buy an off the shelf script.

Have a look at [http://www.phpjabbers.com/](http://www.phpjabbers.com/) - they may have something that might work for you. And if not then these guys are known to be helpful to FW users including script customisation to suit a particular requirement.
