Cardservice International/LinkPoint Gateway Settings
(also YourPay)

Overview

If you have a Cardservice International or YourPay merchant account, you can configure ShopSite to process credit card orders through the LinkPoint gateway in real time. Your customers can enter their credit card information (including billing address) on the shipping screen and ShopSite will forward that information to LinkPoint for verification. If the information is correct and there are funds available to cover the cost of the order, LinkPoint will tell ShopSite that the order is authorized and ShopSite will display a receipt to the customer.

After you ship an order, you can go to the Orders screen in the back office and select the order and click Bill Orders to start the process to receive payment. ShopSite will send a request to LinkPoint to capture the funds for that order, and the funds will be transferred to your Cardservices International merchant account, usually within a couple of business days.

Click here to begin the application process for a Cardservice International account.

ShopSite Setup

After you have registered with Cardservice International and received your merchant information, follow these steps to configure your store to use CSI/LinkPoint for payment processing:

  1. Go to the Commerce Setup screen in ShopSite and click Payment.

    2.  

  2. In the Credit Card Processing section of the screen, click the Cardservice International/LinkPoint Gateway radio button.

    3.  

  3. Click Configure Processor, which brings you to a screen containing the fields listed below. Fill in the fields with the information for your store, or use the default values to configure a test account.

    4.  

  4. Go to Commerce Setup > States and Countries and select the option to use both state and country pull-down lists instead of text fields. This is required for CSI/Linkpoint processing so that ShopSite sends the correct state and country information to the Linkpoint server.
    Note:
    You must set ShopSite to use state and country pull-down lists with the CSI/LinkPoint gateway.

User Information

Enter information that identifies your Cardservice International account.
Host
The name of the LinkPoint server that will process your transactions.
Order Transaction Type
Specify the type of transaction that you want ShopSite to process when a customer places an order. For most situations, you should leave this set to PREAUTH. If your store sells digital download products, you may want to set this to AUTHCAPTURE to ensure that the funds are actually captured before customers are given access to the online products.
PREAUTH
PREAUTH stands for "Authorization Only" and it is the normal transaction method for ShopSite. When a customer clicks "Submit This Order," ShopSite sends the transaction to LinkPoint for authorization, the transaction is authorized, and ShopSite is notified of the authorization. A "hold" for the amount of the purchase is placed on the customer's credit card, but the funds are not "captured" until the merchant goes to the Orders screen in ShopSite and clicks Bill Orders.
SALE
SALE authorizes a transaction and captures funds all at once. ShopSite sends a transaction to LinkPoint for approval, the transaction is approved, ShopSite is notified of the approval, and the transaction automatically settles at the end of the business day without any further action by the merchant.
POST AUTH
A POSTAUTH transaction is used to capture funds authorized previously using an PREAUTH transaction.
Billing Transaction Type
Specify the type of transaction that you want ShopSite to process when you click the Bill Orders button. For most situations, you should leave this set to POSTAUTH.
Store Name
Your LinkPoint store number, given to you when you registered for a LinkPoint account.
Digital Certificate
You must paste your LinkPoint digital certificate into this field. Since the digital certificate is long and difficult to type exactly, you should open the e-mail message that you received from CSI/Linkpoint containing your digital certificate, select the private key and certificate with your mouse and copy it (it’s the really long string of letters and numbers), and then paste it into the field on the ShopSite screen. You must copy and paste the entire certificate, which includes both the RSA PRIVATE KEY part and the CERTIFICATE part. Copy everything, starting with the line that says
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
and ending with the line that says
-----END CERTIFICATE-----.

Verification

Choose payment verification and security options that you would like ShopSite to use with SureFire Commerce payment processing.
Display CVV2 Entry Box
Check this box to have ShopSite include a text box on the order form for customers to enter the CVV2 value from their credit cards. See the Payment Setup help for an explanation of CVV2.
Require CVV2 Entry
Check this box to make the CVV2 field a required field on the order form.
Display Error Details
Check this box only when setting up a new LinkPoint account and making test purchases. If there are any problems with the transactions, the customer will see details about the error. Hopefully that customer is only you making test purchases. Turn this option off when you are ready to accept real transactions.

Click Save Changes after you have entered your information. At this point, you may want to place some test transactions to verify that everything is set up correctly.

Note:
ShopSite uses Port 1129 to communicate with the LinkPoint servers. This is the correct port for the XML interface that ShopSite uses.
