IP Commerce APIs and services provide comprehensive payment acceptance solutions for the next generation point-of-sale commerce (POS 2.0). Now, you can get sample code for IP Commerce APIs on GitHub, the leading social code repository for developers.

Web Services API sample code available on GitHub:

  • Commerce Web Services (CWS) API sample code for C#, PHP, and Java provides payments integration access to software companies, financial institutions and service providers seeking easy access to new payment services through one API. This API connects POS 2.0 applications with an array of payment services (credit, debit, gift and ACH) from leading processors (Vantiv, Chase Paymentech, First Data, Intuit, WorldPay and TSYS). In addition, developers can use the same interface to connect with other value-added commerce services like storing card information (card tokenization), fraud prevention, and point-to-point encryption.

From Sample Code to Accepting Live Transactions

Ready to move from sample code to certification and implementing your solution? Here’s how:

    1. Create a project at https://my.ipcommerce.com.

Why do I need to create a project?
Creating a project a my.ipcommerce allows you to define what payment services you want (credit card processing, ACH, Gift Card) and what additional features you want to include in your payment application.

An IP Commerce Representative will then contact you and walk you through your specific payment needs and connect you to the right information/tools to get your solution implemented.  Have you already created a project but haven’t been contacted?  Reach IP Commerce directly.

  1. Receive Artifacts for Testing in Sandbox (provided via email) to test your application’s code against the IP Commerce sandbox and get your application certified.
  2. Receive Artifacts for Production Use– The final Identity Token, PTLS SocketId, and Endpoint Specifications to go into production and start accepting live transactions.
