LINKPOINT® WRAPPERS

LinkPoint® International has developed several integration tools or wrappers that allow developers with expertise in other programming languages, software platforms and application environments to quickly integrate with the LinkPoint Secure Payment Gateway.

LinkPoint COM

Component Object Model (COM), a technology developed and used by Microsoft and its partners, is particularly compatible with the Windows NT, 2000 and 2003 systems, succeeding as a virtual drop-in solution. The LinkPoint COM is an in-process server supporting a single-threaded apartment (STA) model, enabling the implementation of transaction processing methods in the following languages:

• Visual Basic
• HTML/VBScript
• Active Server Pages (ASP)
• Microsoft SiteServer Commerce Edition
• Other languages that support COM technology

LinkPoint Perl

The LinkPoint Perl wrapper is a common scripting language written for UNIX and Windows systems used by many e-commerce developers. Perl is freeware; the only cost incurred for integration is the LinkPoint Perl wrapper software. Operating systems compatible with LinkPoint Perl wrapper are identical to those compatible with LinkPoint Select.

Macromedia® ColdFusion®

Macromedia® ColdFusion® is a server-based solution for rapidly building and deploying Internet applications and web services. ColdFusion allows developers to use a markup language similar to hypertext markup language (HTML) to develop their web applications.

LinkPoint PHP

The LinkPoint PHP wrapper is written in Personal Hypertext Processor (PHP) language and embeds the functionality provided by LinkPoint Select API directly into the merchant's web server. The operating systems compatible with the LinkPoint PHP wrapper are identical to those that are compatible with LinkPoint Select API.

LinkPoint iHTML Tag

Inline Internet Systems, Inc., has developed a custom iHTML tag, which is very similar to the ColdFusion tag. For more information, please visit the Inline Internet Systems Web site at ihtml.com.
