Simple Order API

Businesses who:

• Want to access services only available via an API implementation
• Have enough volume to warrant a higher level of automation
• Want more control and customization of the buying experience
• Have an SSL secured order page
• Have a resource with ASP, C, Java/Cold Fusion, .NET, Perl or PHP
  programming skills

• You already have a Shopping Cart to process payments
• You don't have a technical resource with programming skills
• You or your hosting provider don't provide a secure (SSL) protected order
  form
• You are or will be using our basic Essentials product offering; APIs are
  only available with Essentials Plus and Advanced product offering
  packages

• Flexibility—with an API, you can take advantage of any CyberSource
  service available with the package you purchase (Tax and line item detail,
  for example)
• Scalability—an API implementation is best if your business volume
  warrants a high level of order processing automation
• Control and Customization—create your own customized order page and
  receipt to give you more control over your customer's buying experience
• Stability—have your server communicate directly with ours for greater
  stability than with a Web browser
• Security Control—you or your hosting provider control security with an SSL
  secure server
• Data Access—store order or customer data before sending it to
  CyberSource
• Fulfillment—share order data with a fulfillment house or internal department
• Easy Order Management—use the online Business Center to review and
  manage all of your orders from any computer with Internet access

Implementing an API client with a CyberSource SDK requires programming
skills in ASP/COM, C, Java/Cold Fusion, .NET, Perl or PHP. You should be
comfortable installing libraries into your existing server environment.
