LinkPoint
Basic
LinkPoint HTML is a simple but very effective product that wraps around
the merchant's Web site, allowing shoppers to select and order products
and securely pay by credit card. This is what is known as "real-time"
processing and it is perfect for businesses that have a product that is
immediately downloadable. It also has the advantage of having 'hands-off"
operation for the merchant. Just paste the code into your web page and
the customer does the rest.
Linkpoint
Select API
(application programming interface)
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. Designed for setting up your Shopping Cart solutions.
The "Arts Alliance Program"
is an opportunity for tremendous savings!!
