Developers,
software programmers, Internet service providers (ISPs) and commerce
service providers (CSPs) with an advanced knowledge of the C or Java
programming languages prefer to use the LinkPoint Select API (application
programming interface) client to integrate secure credit card processing
into both simple and complex e-commerce Web sites. This allows customers
to pay for products and services online with a credit card without
leaving the merchant's Web site. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology
is used to encrypt confidential transactions and order information
and to pass them directly from the e-commerce site to the LinkPoint
Secure Payment Gateway.
LinkPoint Select
API includes modules that calculate tax and shipping and that enable
the sale of digital content through electronic soft-good downloads
(ESDs). In addition, LinkPoint Select API provides sales, returns,
real-time authorizations, purchasing cards and real-time reports.

About
LinkPoint Select API Modules
- The
LinkPoint Select API shipping module calculates shipping
by flat rate or dollar amount per order. Shipping tables
are configured based on zones or the type of shipping used.
This versatile module allows merchants to determine shipping
charges precisely.
- The
LinkPoint Select API sales-tax module calculates sales tax
by state and municipality. This module allows merchants
to determine how or when customers are charged sales tax
for products and services they have ordered.
- The LinkPoint
Select API electronic soft-good download (ESD) module completely
automates the Internet-based sale of soft goods (i.e., products
that are ordered and electronically paid for and delivered
via downloads, including software, graphic images, photos
and music). The ESD module allows the digital-content vendor
to sell soft goods with byte-by-byte tracking of the software
download. The module also supports key-type downloads, which
the buyer can use to unlock an encrypted file downloaded
by other means.
