Support for Development
Before using Subscribe, collect your customer requests, package the data, send it to Vindicia through the Subscribe API, and receive, store, and report the return data from Subscribe for your needs, as appropriate. The API, a library or package for PHP, Visual Basic (VB), C++, Perl, Java, and .NET with C#, makes it simple and secure for you to hand off data to Subscribe for processing.
Be sure to also read the Subscribe Portal User Guide as a starting point. Most of the data created and processed by the Subscribe API is displayed on the Subscribe Portal, the Portal may be useful for debugging during your development process. The Subscribe Merchant Portal also allows you to create most Subscribe objects, and may be used in conjunction with the API throughout your deployment and maintenance cycle.
