Eerst moet je...

OK, my Dutch is pretty pathetic now :-(  

The "simple" demo has some code that partially does this if I remember
correctly.  You need to have the following things:

Checkout page:

1) make sure there is a choice for the user (a radio button works well) to
choose the kind of order to make.

2) that choice must set a variable that MV can access.  I.e. a radio
button with a known name.

3) in the checkout-profile, you need to have code that changes its actions
based on the value of said radio button.

[if value payment_type eq 'CC']
... do CC stuff including CyberCash set up/call...
[else]
... do fax checkout profile checks ...
[/else]
[/if]

...

Receipt Page:

4) on the receipt page, check to see what kind of payment method was
selected and display the appropriate information.

I use this method and it works quite well.

Best,
Kyle
