VeriSign Payflow Link Configuration

Payflow Link provides an easy to use HTTP based solution that is ideal for businesses processing less than 1,000 transactions per month. Payflow Link is the solution of choice for merchants looking for a fast and easy way to conduct secure automated transactions over the Internet.

Payflow Link enables merchants to connect their consumers to a secure VeriSign-hosted order form and use it to automate order acceptance, authorization, processing, and the management of transactions. It 's as simple as entering an HTML Hyperlink into your existing Web site.

Payflow Link is the choice for merchants who process low to moderate levels of orders, and prefer a solution that is especially easy to implement and maintain. Often, merchants find that they can payment-enable their sites with little or no assistance from a web developer.
