This guide is written for application developers who want to use the CyberSource Simple Order API client to integrate the following CyberSource services into their order management system:
nCyberSource Essentials
nCyberSource Advanced
Using the Simple Order API client SDK requires programming skills in one of the following programming languages:
nC, C++
nJava/Cold Fusion
n.NET
nPHP
To use these SDKs, you must write code that uses the API request and reply fields to integrate CyberSource services into your existing order management system.
This guide describes tasks you must complete to install, test, and use the CyberSource Simple Order API client software.
This guide describes how to install, test, and use all available Simple Order API clients. It does not describe how to implement CyberSource services with the Simple Order API. For information about how to use the API to implement CyberSource services, see Related Documents.
