Credit Card Processing by LinkPoint

Note: The control that the Order Manager uses to communicate with LinkPoint credit card services is not compatible with Windows Vista or Windows 7.  Stone Edge is researching possible solutions to this problem. 1/24/11

Non-Point of Sale Setup Process:

  1. Download and install Linkpoint Credit Cart gateway support file, which can be obtained from www.stoneedge.net/dlgateway to a shared location or the c:\stoneedge installation folder on the workstation.

  2. Run the installer, which registers the file lpicom_6_0.dll as part of the process. If being used on multiple workstations, make sure that this .dll is registered properly on each one. Refer to the Knowledge Base article, Manually Registering ActiveX and DLLs for more details.

  3. Also be sure that the .pem file (obtained from Linkpoint) is accessible to all workstations that will be using it.

  4. Configure the System Parameters pertaining to LinkPoint (shown below).

  5. Set System Parameter "CreditCardProcessor” to "LinkPoint”

  6. Check the settings of the main and/or cart-based system parameter, WebTransactionType to make sure it agrees with your workflow. The choices are Pre-Authorize or Sale. If payments will be captured via the Order Manager, it should be set to Pre-Authorize. If payment is captured at the web store, it should be set to Sale.
