Example: Enabling and Using Automated Transactions

In this example, FlashConnect allows you to enable your Web site with secured Internet-based payment using credit card transactions and check processing with a third party merchant bank.

We provide information for setting up transaction processing, programming code for developing Web pages, and sample code to get you up and running quickly. You will need to work out the details with your bank regarding their API.

The Automated Transaction Services (ATS) application programming interface (API) consists of the ATS-API library, which is a collection of Pick BASIC and FlashConnect subroutines.

The API allows you to add e-commerce functionality to your FlashConnect applications.

Before you begin, you must have an account with an Internet bank. This example uses Merchant Trust Bank. You need to work out the details with your bank regarding their API.
