Card Service Installation for ShopZone (v. 3.5 and older only)

This process must be done exactly as detailed below. If you are unsure if you can do it properly, or if you have version 3.7 or newer, you may want to have us work on a consulting basis to help you, as incorrect setup can cause problems with your website.

  1. You must use the information that came to you in the "Welcome to LinkPoint API" email (NOT the "Welcome to Virtual LinkPoint" email).
  2. Create a .pem file
    • Select the whole key file in the email which starts with "-----BEGIN RSA" and ends with "END CERTIFICATE-----" Be sure there are exactly 5 dashes and no spaces at the beginning and also at the end. If you leave off any of the "-" or add a space it will not work.
    • Copy this into a program like Notepad which will not alter the formatting of the information.
    • Save this file as "csikey.pem" (If you have more than 1 store you can name the .pem file something else like "csikey2.pem" so that you can keep track of all of them. BUT... the file name MUST end in ".pem"
    • IMPORTANT: Make a backup of this file and save on your computer, and/or save the email that had the original information in it.
  3. Install the .pem file on the remote server
    • ShopZone creates a "private_html" folder which is on the same level as the "public_html" folder. In this "private_html" folder, create a subfolder named "csi"
    • Upload (using an ftp program like ftpvoyager.com) the "csikey.pem" file you created into this "csi" subdirectory
  4. Configure ShopZone to work with Card Service
    • In ShopZone go to "File" then "Web Properties" then to the "ISP" tab.
    • Click the "Select" button, and making sure that the correct config name is still selected in the window, click "View". BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN WORKING WITH THIS FILE, as any accidental or incorrect changes can ruin your website.
    • Click the "Payment" tab.
    • Payment Processing: Select "True"
    • Payment Method: Select "ClearCommerce"
    • ClearCommerce Merchant ...: In this first field, put the CSI user ID (probably 6 numbers)
    • ClearCommerce Merchant...: In this 2nd field, type
      "/web/yourmoonsliceusername/private_html/csi/csikey.pem
      for example it might look like
      "/web/ibm/private_html/csi/cskiey.pem" if "ibm" was the username we assigned you when you started hosting with us.
    • ClearCommerce Na...: Type "secure.linkpt.net"
  5. Save Changes
  6. Be sure you "validate" (in Shopzone Payment Methods) any of the payment methods that will go through the CardService gateway - usually all of the credit cards, but not "check" or "cashier's check".
  7. Republish
