Customer LoginCheckout: First Data – Linkpoint/YourPay
The First Data – Linkpoint / YourPay payment gateway has been integrated into the WordPress shopping cart plugin with the Connect API in Fullpay mode. You can enable this payment method in the ‘Configuration’ section of the plugin by checking/ticking its checkbox and then configuring the gateway accordingly. The plugin requires a name, store number and test account status.
The Fullpay mode is the simplest payment processing solution for an online merchant. All of the customer billing and shipping information is collected over the secure payment gateway and stored in the First Data Global Gateway Connect database. You can view this information in your reports in the First Data Global Gateway Virtual Terminal. You must collect product data and calculate the chargetotals for each order. Any additional costs charged for the purchase, such as tax and shipping, must also be added, and compiled by your web site. Finally, you must implement a method for transferring the final chargetotal to the Chargetotal data field.
Setting up First Data
In order to start using the Checkout plugin with your First Data merchant account, there are several values you need to fill in. Login to your Global Gateway Virtual Terminal with your store number, user ID and password. From the top menu, go to ‘Administration’ > ‘Connect Settings’. There are several fields which need URL values. Below are each of the field names with their values. Please replace ‘http://www.domain.com’ in all of the URLs below with your WordPress shop URL.

Tick both the ‘URL is a CGI Script’ and ‘Automatically display Confirmation Page after the Connect receipt page’ checkboxes for data to be passed back appropriately.
Failure Page (“Sorry” page)
