ClearCard Payment Interface (CPI)

The CPI is the simplest and fastest way to connect to your website to ClearCard’s payment gateway. The CPI makes extensive use of the merchant website (www.ClearCard.com/merchants). With very little exceptions every thing you will want to do to integrate CPI into your website commerce application can be managed from the ClearCard website. For those merchants who are looking for a easy way to incorporate e-commerce on their sites, you will be happy to notice that CPI is exactly what you need.

CPI is your shopping cart. And it can be used in a traditional shopping cart sense or to purchase and manage subscriptions to your site. It can also be used for direct purchase of products without having to utilize the shopping cart functionality at all. Completely flexible and simple to set up and manage. See Flow Chart

ClearCard’s Payment Notification Interface (CPNI)

ClearCard’s Payment Notification Interface (CPNI) allows you to integrate ClearCard payments with your website commerce functionality. This part of CPI will allow you to receive immediate notification and confirmation of payments you receive from customers. The benefit to you is the ability to;

	Store transaction information in your own database
	Automate your fulfillment operations (e.g. Sending shipping info to your warehouse)
	For CRM functionality you can track your customers through the notification’s pass through variables capability.
	Customize your sites response to customer purchases in real time More info

ClearCard API

ClearCard also makes available to developers and merchants a very extensive API which provides backend access to the same functionality supported in the ClearCard payment Interface. The difference between the two is simply with the API you have total control to manage the communication between your site and ClearCard. If you have an existing shopping cart or an elaborate commerce system for your website, it is very likely you will want to use our ClearCard API. If you choose to use the API you will find very comprehensive documentation on its implementation More info
