ComsGate® Specification

The ComsGate® Specification allows a merchant to send transactions directly to the CHARGE Anywhere® Payment Gateway. The transactions that the specification allows are Credit, ACH, and Gift Card. The merchant is also able to schedule recurring transactions and to upload signatures for storage in the CHARGE Anywhere® Payment Gateway.

Applications created utilizing the ComsGate® Specification will automatically benefit from a variety of supported processors as well as taking advantage of new processors that CHARGE Anywhere®, LLC is certified with. Also, since ComsGate® supports a variety of transport platforms, applications and application developers are not limited to using any specific protocol.
