Virtual Linkpoint
Virtual Linkpoint allows merchants to manually enter credit card and electronic check 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 processing software without the hardware or maintenance expenses. Virtual Linkpoint is easy to use and has immediate verification!

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!!
