Verisign / Payflow Link Error: Merchant Identification error
Sample Error
Merchant Identification error
Solution or Workaround
On 3/16/05 Verisign issued an advisory related to their PayFlow Link system.  Verisign is currently modifying their system, some PDshop users may be affected.

If you are receiving the above error message during the checkout process, you will need to make the following code changes to your "gateway_out.asp" script in the "shop" directory.  

1. Change the posting URL for the PayFlow Link form to:
https://payments.verisign.com/payflowlink

2. Add the following new hidden form field:
<input type="hidden" name="PARTNER" value="your partner ID here">

*** If you setup your Verisign PayFlow Link account directly through Verisign, than your Partner ID is likely "Verisign" (without the quotes).

NOTE: These changes have already been integrated into the latest revision of each edition of PDshop.  You are encouraged to download and install the latest revision.
