Overview
The HTTPS interface allows you to post transactions directly to the Payflow servers.
N OTE: If you are programming in Java or .NET, you can simplify the implementation by using
a Payflow SDK. The Payflow SDKs are based upon this HTTPS interface. Payflow
SDK, Version 4 or later for .NET, can be used with classic ASP. For information on the
Payflow SDKs, go to Developer Central at the URL below and click the SDK and
Downloads link on the Library tab.

This guide contains the information you will need to construct the HTTPS message. The body
