Sample Code: Go Straight to the Source
If you learn best in a hands-on environment, the Toolkit Tutorial is the perfect resource to help you get started with IP Commerce payment services. The included source code is loaded with descriptive comments that explain how to use Commerce Toolkit for Application's API to access payment services and send and receive transaction messages.
The Toolkit Tutorial's sample code demonstrates:
- How to use the PaymentSolution object to quickly create a functional commerce-enabled application
- How to implement the Toolkit's built-in user management functions and data encryption capabilities to ensure adherence to security best practices
- The construction of transaction messages using Action Builders. Builders ensure that service configuration data and provisioned data are automatically populated in transaction messages
- How to quickly create batch settlements from other transactions using appropriate Action Builders
The Toolkit Tutorial Application offers you a point-by-point examination of all the steps necessary to get a payment solution up and running, and takes the guesswork out of creating new commerce functionality by providing a working starting point.
