Global Gateway Wrappers (formally LinkPoint Wrappers)

CardService 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 Global Secure Payment Gateway.


Global Gateway COM Component Object Model (COM), a technology developed and used by Microsoft Corporation and its partners, is particularly compatible with the Windows NT system, succeeding as a virtual drop-in solution. The Global Gateway 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 (htm)
• Microsoft SiteServer Commerce Edition
• Other languages that support COM technology

Global Gateway Perl
The Global Gateway 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 Global Gateway Perl wrapper software. Operating systems compatible with Global Gateway Perl wrapper are identical to those compatible with LinkPoint.

Macromedia速 ColdFusion速
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 application.

Global Gateway PHP
The Global Gatwaye PHP wrapper is written in personal hypertext processor language and embeds the functionality provided by Global Gateway Select API directly into the merchant's Web server. The operating systems compatible with the Global Gateway PHP wrapper are identical to those that are compatible with LinkPoint API.

Global Gateway 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.
