Sale Transaction Example
In addition to the connection parameters and the required parameters in Table 3.2, each
transaction type (TRXTYPE) has additional parameter requirements and can use a number
of optional ones as well.
For example, to perform a Direct Payment credit card Sale transaction, you are required
to pass the following parameters:
z ACCT - The payer’s credit card number
z AMT - The amount of the sale
z EXPDATE - The expiry date of the credit card
