EBAY EXAMPLE

LinkPoint can not be linked directly to an ebay auction. There are several options for setting up the LinkPoint gateway with Ebay.

OPTION 1
Purchase a shopping cart like LinkPoint Cart that supports Ebay. LinkPoint Cart does not add a button to your Ebay auction but instead will email your customer at the end of the auction to make a payment. You will need to contact CardService in order to purchase LinkPoint Cart.
CardService Sales 1-800-456-5902

OPTION 2
Setup an account through AuctionCheckout.com to use your existing merchant account and payment gateway. AuctionCheckout will add a "Pay Now" button to your Ebay auction. Click here for a Flash demo. Please note there is a monthly fee for the AuctionCheckout service.

OPTION 3
If you are currently using Andale for your auction checkout you will need to contact CardService and have your merchant account converted from LinkPoint to either Authorize.net or Verisign.

OPTION 4
Setup a Prostores Business web store. ProStores is provided by Ebay and integrates directly with eBay and eBay store auctions. The ProStores Business solution is compatible with LinkPoint API.

OPTION 5
You can use the LinkPoint Connect option to accept credit cards through Ebay. In order to use LinkPoint Connect, you will need to have a web site that is separate from Ebay. On your Ebay auction you will need to place a link to your web site in order for customers to make a payment. Next you will need to create a page on your web site and copy/paste the HTML code generated below. When a customer goes to your web site they will click on a button that will redirect them to a secure form on the LinkPoint gateway.

The textbox below will generate some HTML code. You will need to copy and paste the code onto one of your pages on your web site. If you leave store number as the default 123456, you need to remember to change the value for storename with your store number.

Store number:
 

Simply click inside the window below, use your cursor to highlight the code, and copy (press Control-C or Apple-C on your keyboard) the code. Next you will need to paste (Control-V or Apple-V on your keyboard) the code into one of your web pages using Notepad (Windows), TextEdit (Mac OS X), or any HTML editor.


Here is an example of what it will look like:
