Transactions are processed through the LinkPoint^® Secure Payment Gateway. With LinkPoint^® Connect you get the ability to accept credit cards in two ways:

1. If you have a website you can install html scripts into your website that allows you to accept credit cards on your website automatically. You will be able to have sales 24 hours a day.
2. You will be able to manually run transactions through a virtual terminal. Anywhere you have internet access you can log into our secure website and run transactions in real time.

There are no setup fees so all you have to lose in applying is about 5 to 10 minutes of your time.

Once you have been approved it usually takes about 2 business days before you receive your welcome email from LinkPoint and are then able to start credit card processing.
