CONNECT SETTINGS

  1. You need to log into LinkPoint Central to access the LinkPoint Connect settings.
  2. After you login, click on Customization at the top.
  3. Then click on "Configure your LinkPoint Connect."
  4. Enter the URL address for the order page on your web site or the very last page during checkout for your shopping cart.
    You can enter multiple address but they need to be separated by a space.
    The Order Submission Form field has a limit of 250 characters.
  • By default LinkPoint Connect will display the customer a confirmation page that they can print out for their records.
  • If you do not create your own thank you and sorry pages then you can enter the address for your web site.
    For example: http://www.yourdomain.com
  • You only need to enable "URL is a CGI script" if you want LinkPoint to post the data back to your website so you can collect the information using a scripting language like PHP or ASP.
  • If you do not want customers to see the LinkPoint confirmaiton page then you need to enable the auto forwarding option.

CONNECT PAYMENT FORM

You should have a secure server if you plan add your logo or a background image to the LinkPoint Connect secure payment form. If you do not have a secure server then your customers will receive a message stating the page contains both secure and nonsecure items. This will discourage customers form entering their credit card information.

The payment header and footer are only displayed on the LinkPoint Connect confirmation page. The customers will not see this information when they enter their credit card information.

You only need to fill out the custom fields if you are passing fields other than those listed in the Connect manual and want them to be displayed on the confirmation emails. Please be aware that due to technical dificulties you may not always receive the confirmation emails.
We suggest using the "comments" and "userid" fields to pass any order information so that it gets recorded in the LinkPoint Central reports.
If you decide to use the custom fields you also need to make sure you enable the option to receive a copy of the customer's receipt.
