Section 3. Remote Membership Administration

Overview

Remote Membership Administration allows merchants to manage membership-related functions by submitting an HTTP POST request containing the required administration 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.

Access Requirements

Remote Membership Administration requests require:

• A valid username and password.
• Registration of the originating server IP address before requests can be processed.

Server IP addresses can be registered through the Security Administration menu within the merchant administration interface.

Request Requirements

All requests submitted to the Remote Membership Administration 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 prevent request errors.

Notes

The Remote Membership Administration interface provides a consistent integration layer across supported client libraries, enabling standardized membership management and response handling.
