FirstData (Previously LinkPoint) Mecrhant account setup

FirstData (Previously LinkPoint) at http://www.firstdata.com.


The Global Gateway API code wrapper for Perl is found at

http://www.firstdata.com/en_us/customer-center/merchants/support/first-data-global-gateway-api-software-downloads.html 


If you have a merchant account with firstdata and want to use it with our products please you need to do these steps.

*)-Download the Firstdata Perl Module API above from their site and install it according to their instructions.
Now they need the module to be in any perl path so perl can find it. You can also install it in the same directory as your mewsoft product.

2)-Edit the file Merchant.pm that comes with your Mewsoft product with any text editor like notepad and uncomment this line at the top of the file:

# eval "use Business::OnlinePayment::LinkPoint;";

like this:

eval "use Business::OnlinePayment::LinkPoint;";

*)-Install or ask your hosting company to install perl module:

Business::OnlinePayment::LinkPoint

from www.cpan.org

*)- Setup your merchant account in your Mewsoft product admin center->Billing system setup->Merchant account setup:

Select your merchant provider as LinkPoint and set all the fields requiered for the Linkpoint setup form on the same page.

Thank you
