The 360Works Plastic plugin makes it easy to process credit card payments with FileMaker. Use it with FileMaker Pro, or with FileMaker Pro Server. This plugin works with scripts that are scheduled with FileMaker Server 9, as well as with custom web publishing and Instant Web Publishing. It also reads the extra magnetic tracks for 'card present' swipes. All network communication is secure and encrypted with SSL.

You must have a merchant account with authorize.net or Verisign / Paypal to use this plugin. Once your merchant account is set up correctly, running charges can be done in one quick step. Here is an example of its usage:

CCProcessPayment(
"MyMerchantAccountName" ;
"MyMerchantAccountPassword" ;
.99 ;					// the charge amount
"1234123412341234" ;			// the credit card number
Date(12, 1, 2010) ;			// credit card expiration date
"John" ;				// card holder first name
"Doe" ;					// card holder last name
CCParam("chargeDescription" ; "For services rendered" ) &
CCParam("cardType" ; "VISA") &
CCParam("verificationCode" ; "1234" )
)

The above method will process a payment transaction for a card, and return the approval code for the transaction, or the word "ERROR:", followed by an explanation of the error.

Questions and Answers

Will it run on Windows/Mac? What version of FileMaker is required?

Yes, all of our plugins are designed to run on Mac OS X (PowerPC and Intel) as well as on Windows.

We never charge for switching / cross-grading, because the plugin package that we give you includes both Windows and Mac versions, and the same license keys work on both. One less thing to worry about!

Our plugins take advantage of the new plugin features of version 7, such as attaching styles to text. In addition, the Mac versions of all of our plugins ship as universal binaries, and will run wonderfully on the new Intel Macs.

	Mac OS X 10.4 or later on PPC	Mac OS X 10.4 or later on Intel	Windows XP or later
FileMaker 4-6	FileMaker Pro 7 or later required
FileMaker Pro 7	X	Won't run in Rosetta	X
FileMaker Pro 8	X	Won't run in Rosetta	X
FileMaker Pro 8.5	X	X	X
FileMaker Pro 9	X	X	X
FileMaker Server Advanced 7	X	X	X
FileMaker Server Advanced 8.0v4	See note below	See note below	X
FileMaker Server Advanced 9	X	X	X
FileMaker Server 9	X	X	X

FileMaker Server Advanced 8.0v4: Unfortunately, a bug in FileMaker Server Advanced 8.0v4 disables all plugins in the Web Publishing Engine on OS X. This affects all plugins, not just ones from 360Works. FileMaker, Inc. is aware of this bug.

Rosetta: Rosetta is not supported. If you are running FileMaker 8 on an Intel Macintosh, we strongly recommend upgrading to FileMaker 8.5 or later; the speed and stability improvements are very significant.

What about Web Publishing and FileMaker Server?

If you purchase the Enterprise License (see below), then you will be able to use the plugin with the FileMaker Web Publishing Engine. This means that when you use our plugins in your FileMaker scripts, they will work the same way with Instant Web Publishing (IWP). It also means that your Custom Web Publishing applications (with XSLT, PHP, or any other web technology) can call FileMaker scripts that use our plugins.

If you're using FileMaker Server 9, our plugins are compatible with the new FileMaker Server 9 scheduled script feature.

What kind of licenses are there?

Most of our plugins are available in 3 licenses: a Demo version which works for 2 hours every time you launch FileMaker, a "WorkGroup License" for 10 or fewer users, and an "Enterprise License" for unlimited users within a single organization.
