<p class="para">
These functions interface the MCVE (Monetra) API (libmonetra,
formerly known as libmcve), allowing you
to work directly with MCVE/Monetra from your PHP scripts.
MCVE/Monetra is Main Street Softworks' solution to direct
credit/debit/gift card processing for Linux/Unix/MacOSX/Windows
( <a href="http://www.mainstreetsoftworks.com/" class="link external">» http://www.mainstreetsoftworks.com/</a> ).
It lets you directly address the credit card clearing houses via
your *nix box, modem and/or internet connection (bypassing the
need for an additional service such as Authorize.Net or Pay
Flow Pro). Using the MCVE/Monetra module for PHP, you can process
credit cards directly through MCVE/Monetra via your PHP scripts.
The following references will outline the process.
