Pinnacle Cart Knowledge Base

LinkPoint.com payment gateway requires a digital certificate to send/receive payment transaction data. This certificate file is provided by LinkPoint.com when a merchant account is activated. If you have a LinkPoint API account, you should have received a "Welcome e-mail" when the merchant account was opened.  
If you lost this e-mail, you will have to call your merchant account provider to have the e-mail resent requiring human interaction as a security requirement at 1-800 456-5989 X4100.

At the very end of the message (embedded in the e-mail text) will be the digital certificate, which is your pem file. Follow the instructions given in the e-mail exactly to save the digital certificate into a file on your Web server with a .pem extension. Note the location (path) to the .pem file.

When you get this file, rename it to "certificate.pem". Then open your favorite FTP client app and upload file onto your server, where your Pinnacle Cart is hosted. If you are a hosted with us, you can do this through file manager.

Folder to upload is content/engine/payment/linkpoint/certificate.pem

If you have any problems with setup, please let us know.
