LinkPoint Select API
LinkPoint Select API (Application Programming Interface) is comprehensive payment processing software for the merchant who requires a more sophisticated payment solution. LinkPoint Select 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 Select API uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt and pass confidential transaction and order information directly to the LinkPoint Secure Payment Gateway.
LinkPoint Select API includes modules that calculate tax and shipping and that enable the sale of digital content through electronic soft-good downloads (ESDs). In addition, LinkPoint Select API provides sales, returns, real-time authorizations, purchasing cards and real-time reports.
What Merchants can do with the LinkPoint Select API
- Build a Full-Featured Online Store
You can build a secure solution that's as sophisticated as you need with LinkPoint Select API. The merchant-configurable tax and shipping modules can automatically calculate tax and shipping for any order.

| Feature |
Advantage |
| VirtualCheck |
LinkPoint Select API allows electronic check acceptance to be integrated into your web site; customers electing to pay for goods or services by check are prompted to enter check information into a form created and maintained on your web site |
| Fraud protection |
Provides crucial preventive measures that allow you to block specific credit card numbers, Internet protocol (IP) or Class C addresses, customer names, or domain names. |
| Address Verification Service (AVS) |
Helps you combat fraud by comparing the consumer's billing address with the address on file with the card-issuing bank. If the two match, you know there is a lower chance of fraud. |
| Online Reports and Account Management |
Provides real-time management reports via your merchant's Web browser |
| ESD Module |
LinkPoint Select API includes an electronic soft-good download (ESD) module. This module completely automates the Internet-based sale of soft goods (i.e., products that are ordered and electronically paid for and delivered via downloads, including software, graphic images, photos and music). The ESD module allows the digital-content vendor to sell soft goods with byte-by-byte tracking of the software download. The module also supports key-type downloads that the buyer can use to unlock an encrypted file downloaded by other means. |
| Tax Module |
This tax calculator calculates sales tax by state and municipality. It allows you to determine how or when customers are charged sales tax for products and services they have ordered. |
| Shipping Module |
This module calculates shipping by flat rate or dollar amount per order. Shipping tables are configured based on zones or the type of shipping used. This versatile module allows merchants to determine shipping charges precisely. |
| E-mail notification |
You and the customer are both notified of pending order and transaction approvals via e-mail |
| Automatic recurring transactions |
LinkPoint Select API allows you to create a recurring billing system for memberships, subscriptions and other periodic billing purposes |
| Purchasing cards |
The LinkPoint Select API supports the use of purchasing cards with full Level II Purchasing Card support. |
