VeriSign® Payflow Link

What is Payflow Link?

Payflow Link is a service designed for merchants who require a simple solution for accepting payments on the Web. The Payflow Link service is a hosted order form that allows your customers to securely input their credit card information. To use Payflow Link, you only need to add a small piece of HTML code to your Website that will link a customer from your site to the order forms hosted by VeriSign. Payflow Link offers you a simple package for payment processing, including credit cards, electronic check processing functionality as well as offline order processing. The Payflow Link service works with most major shopping cart software.

How does Payflow Link work?

Once you've opened your Internet merchant account with us, you're ready to configure Payflow Link. Customization of Payflow Link is done in an easy to use Web-based tool. For merchants that desire online shopping-cart-functionality such as sales tax calculation, Payflow Link can be seamlessly integrated with all the major third party e-commerce applications and services. When customers place an order at your site, they simply select a payment method and submit the form to execute the order. VeriSign collects the transaction information and then securely routes the transaction through the financial network to the appropriate bank, ensuring that customers are authorized to make their purchases. The whole transaction is accomplished in a matter of seconds. You and your customer can receive confirmation that the transaction has been approved.
