LinkPoint API Features and Advantages
LinkPoint API (Application Programming
Interface) is comprehensive payment processing software.
LinkPoint API gives merchants complete control over how their
payments are processed, and allows them to build transaction
processing applications that can process payments from a Web
site or from multiple Point of Sale terminals. Ideal for either
e-commerce or large-scale retail situations, LinkPoint API
uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt and
pass confidential transaction and order information directly
to the LinkPoint Secure Payment Gateway.
LinkPoint API includes modules that calculate
tax and shipping. In addition, LinkPoint API provides sales,
returns, real-time authorizations, purchasing cards and real-time
reports.
