Introduction


 

UPC (Universal Payment Connector) DIRECT for Authorize.Net ARB gives you the freedom and flexibility to accept recurring payments without the need of a bulky shopping cart system.

Our product was created from the ground up to easily run in the most restrictive shared and dedicated web hosting environments. The UPC DIRECT product works by attempting to make a secure SSL Version 3 connection from your web site to the Authorize.Net Gateway.

Once this secure connection is successfully negotiated, the product sends all transaction request data (subscription information, billing information, shipping information, product descriptions, total dollar amount, Credit Card or eCheck information etc . . .) to the Authorize.Net Gateway for settlement.

If the transaction is approved or declined, the product will display the appropriate response page template. All templates are 100% customizable with any web editor of choice. You may also perform additional actions after the order is processed such as inserting order data into a database, sending a custom email, or calling a third party script after an order is approved or declined. Some of these addons are available for purchase, please contact sales@soundcommerce.com for more information.

The UPC DIRECT product follows strict PCI DSS (Data Security Standard) Compliancy Guidelines and Payment Application Best Practices. The product does not store credit card information or sensitive Authorize.Net account information. The product requires your Authorize.Net api login id and transaction key only. If your api login id and transaction key are ever compromised the assailant will not have access to log into your Authorize.Net account. Our software attempts to limit these types of threats by storing your api login id and transaction key inside a configuration file that can be optionally moved outside your web root directory.

The UPC DIRECT product is perfect for:

green_check_mark acceptance of one-time and recurring donations
green_check_mark online invoice payments for products and services
green_check_mark merchants in need of quick and easy solution for acceptance of recurring transactions
green_check_mark web designers or developers in need of a commercial grade solution already tried and proven
 

NOTE:
You must be subscribed to the ARB (Automated Recurring Billing) Service through Authorize.Net to accept recurring payments.
