• Developer API: Merchant Partners has multiple API programming interfaces allow your developers to integrate your custom application with the payment gateway. Integration options include SSL POST with name/value pairs, secure socket connection, and for Windows based applications a COM object is available to simplify your integration. Sample scripts are available (i.e. Perl, C++, Visual Basic, ASP) to shorten the learning curve and speed your development. Refer to our Integration Guide for detail interface specifications
   
• Batch Processing: Use our Batch Processing option to bulk upload transactions to the payment gateway. This is a good solution if you have an internal application that collects transactions and you would like to process them "off-line" in bulk. Using MS Excel, Access or any other program that can create a "flat file" of data that conforms to our batch processing format. Then send the file via FTP to our upload site for processing. The transactions are processed immediately, with reporting and receipt options available to notify you of the status of each transaction. This process can also be automated and scheduled. Refer to our Batch Processing Guide for more information regarding submitting batch files.

What happens when a transaction is submitted to the Merchant Partners.com Payment Gateway?

Transaction information is collected with either a form that captures the necessary customer information (name, credit card number, etc.) from a merchant’s own secure transaction page, or via a page hosted on the Merchant Partners secure server, for the customer to fill out.

The customer’s information is encrypted using 40 or 128-bit Secure Socket Layer technology and sent to an Merchant Partners transaction server. The server sends the data through the authorization network to the appropriate card issuer's bank, using a secure, proprietary connection. When the authorization process is complete -- this takes around five seconds -- the customer receives an approval or decline response and the Merchant Partners server stores the transaction. Transactions are automatically settled each day and are typically funded within two to three business days.

Merchants can check the status of transactions or run reports on past activity by going to the Merchant Partners Web site and logging on to their own password-protected Merchant Partners site. Online businesses also can use the Merchant Partners Virtual Terminal to enter payment information manually if customers prefer to call in their credit card information.
