LINKPOINT

If you need to accept credit cards in real-time on your website or need a simple and inexpensive solution for accepting credit cards for mail or phone orders, you have come to the right place. For a limited time only, you can get the LinkPoint® Gateway absolutely free when you sign up for a merchant account with First Data Independent Sales.

Choose the integration method that makes sense for your business:

The LinkPoint gateway is integrated with most major shopping cart software. If you are using one of these shopping cart applications, most of the work has already been done for you. Set-up is as easy as entering your Merchant ID number. Check with your shopping cart software vendor to ensure that they have integrated the LinkPoint Gateway.

LinkPoint Connect is the simplest integration option. With this option, you create an order form on your website and copy and paste HTML code that we provide into that web page that adds a "Pay Now" button. This button links to an SSL (secure socket layer) payment form on the LinkPoint server where the final payment information is entered and submitted.

LinkPoint API (application programming interface) is comprehensive payment processing software for the merchant that requires a more sophisticated solution. LinkPoint API gives merchants SSL security, fraud protection tools, plus tax and shipping calculators. This is the ideal product for merchants that require custom interfaces or advanced functionality.
