Section 1. Remote Authorization

Overview

Remote Authorization allows credit card transactions to be processed by submitting an HTTP POST request containing the required transaction variables. The system returns a URL-encoded response string that can be parsed programmatically.

This method is also used by available API/COM libraries and serves as the reference implementation for request and response name/value pairs.

Payment Endpoint

Request Requirements

All requests submitted to the Remote Authorization endpoint must adhere to the following rules:

• Data must be submitted using HTTP POST.
• All variable names and values must be properly URL encoded prior to transmission.
• All input values must be validated and correctly formatted before submission.

Implementation Notes

1. All data values must be URL encoded or escaped before being sent to the endpoint.

2. All submitted data must be properly filtered and formatted to ensure successful processing and to prevent request errors.

Notes

The Remote Authorization interface is designed to provide a consistent integration layer across multiple client libraries, enabling standardized transaction submission and response handling.
