Why Open Source?

Merchant Services Inc. (our merchant account) does not supply code to interact with their API (application programming interface) and process transactions online, so we wrote our own. To help other customers with merchant accounts through Merchant Services Inc. we have posted our code under the MIT license. This will help others as a starting point and save them money for development.

We frequently use Open Source Projects and like to contribute back when we can.
