GO Software - PCCharge

GO Software is an US based company. This module implements an interface to the PCCharge product, which supports only transactions in US dollars.

 

What you need to start

You receive from GO Software the following:

  • Software package to operate the merchant gateway
  • Merchant ID
  • Information about the card processor you use.

Depending who operates the server software, needs to configure the connections to the processors, but that is most likely that your ISP will be the one doing the install of the software. In this case, you will get from your ISP:

  • The gateway software IP address
  • The IP port to use with the host above

An ISP using this software is Ultra-comm.com
