| 2. EZ Payment Gateway Overview |
|
There are two different ways to link a web site to the EZ Payment Gateway for real-time transaction processing:
OPTION 1: Link to the EZ Payment Gateway Secure Payment Form - process.aspx (for merchants who do not have a secure server or for merchants who prefer to use the Payment Form) |
Merchant web site posts to the Secure Payment Form on GoEmerchant.com's secure servers (merchant name, unique order ID, a total amount, and has a script with a URL to return authorization information.) |
 |
EZ Payment Gateway - Secure Payment Form (collects credit card and billing information and gets an authorization.) |
| |
 |
EZ Payment Gateway - Transaction Gateway (sends the authorization variables via http GET method back to merchant URL and script.) |
| |
OPTION 2: Link directly to the EZ Payment Gateway - direct.aspx (only for merchants who have a secure server) |
Merchant web site posts to the Secure Payment Server (merchant name, all necessary billing information, the total amount, and a script with a URL to return authorization information.) |
 |
EZ Payment Gateway - Transaction Gateway (sends the authorization variables via http GET method back to merchant URL and script.) |
| |
NOTE: For purposes of this section, a secure server is defined as a web server that has installed and is running at least SSL 2.0 (Secure Sockets Layer) and has a verifiable secure server digital certificate from a recognized certificate authority.
You must have a moderate understanding of HTML/CGI/ASP in order to fully exploit the features of the EZ Payment Gateway. Although it is true that the following snippets of HTML code can be copied and pasted directly into a web site and it would "work", it is not likely that all of the specific needs you have with your web site will be met simply by copying and pasting this code. These code snippets below will send the data to the EZ Payment Gateway, but the transaction status information will never make it back to the merchant without a script on the merchant server. Merchants that are unable to achieve the custom look/feel and programming required on their own should consult with a local Internet web designer/programmer for assistance or purchase the GoEmerchant.com e-commerce Total Package.
