SOAP Implementation

The SOAP interface is most easily accessed through a .NET application. If you are developing in .Net, simply add the URL of the web service – or of the specific service method – you are attempting to consume as a service reference in Visual Studio. Once you have added the service reference, Visual Studio will handle the bulk of the heavy lifting and will create a class for the web service and/or method you are attempting to access which will build the SOAP object for you and return a response in the form of an object.

It is important to note that we use ssl accelerators in our infrastructure. As such, the endpoint URL’s included in the WSDL file generated by the web reference to the service will be set to ‘http://’ by default. Simply change them to ‘https://’ in whatever IDE you are working in, and you should have no trouble communicating with the web service.

If you are using a program language other than VB.NET or C#, and are not familiar with interacting with .NET web services, it is recommended that you integrate using HTTPS as it is far less complicated then building SOAP objects outside of an IDE, and will save a tremendous amount of time and headache. If you are familiar and comfortable using SOAP to consume .NET web services, navigate to the URL for each web service method you plan to consume for additional details regarding the XML SOAP schema.

Most integrators will only need to concern themselves with the ProcessCreditCard web service. However, if additional functionality is required, our web services have been labeled intuitively, and the functionality exposed in each service is implied in the title.

The API is broken up into categories according to functionality to ease this further.
