For the merchant who wants to get online fast with a limited start-up budget, Cardservice International is the best choice. If a merchant already has his or her own Web site and wants a secure, fast and reliable e-commerce software package, we also have the answer.
Three unique and user-friendly payment solutions are available to serve the e-commerce needs of any merchant:
Virtual LinkPoint allows merchants to manually enter credit card transactions on a PC through a secure connection to the Internet. Virtual LinkPoint is the Internet equivalent of a point-of-sale (POS) terminal or PC-based transaction software without the hardware/software and maintenance expenses. Sales, returns, authorizations and real-time reports are all provided by Virtual LinkPoint.
LinkPoint HTML is a simple, yet sophisticated product and requires a little hands-on work by the merchant to use. It wraps around the merchant's existing Web site, allowing shoppers to select and order products and securely pay for them with a credit card. All the same services provided by Virtual LinkPoint are available with LinkPoint HTML.
LinkPoint API is the most sophisticated level of service, enabling software companies, commerce service providers (CSPs), Internet service providers (ISPs) or cyber-wise merchants to add Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) payment capabilities to their products, services or custom storefronts. Additional features, such as tax and shipping calculations and electronic softgood download (ESD) — i.e., software, pictures or text — are included.
Encryption
Using Cardservice International's
SSL API, all orders and payment information sent from the merchant's Web
server will be encrypted using industry standard RC4 1024-bit encryption
with SSL Version 3. This encrypted and secure data is routed to Cardservice
International, decrypted and processed. All processed information (Approved/Declined
transactions) is then re-encrypted and sent securely back to the Web site.
Once at the Web server, it is decrypted and displayed to the consumer.
Also, order confirmation e-mails are sent to the consumer and to the merchant.
The Cardservice International SSL API guarantees
that the orders and payment information generated by the merchant's Web
server remain totally secure.
