PostBack Server
Posted: Fri Mar 10, 2023 3:34 am
I've been working with a few companies who provide services I integrate into my software ( management system for small businesses ). One handles SMS, and the other credit card processing ( with an SMS option ).
Both of these need a "PostBack server" to be fully functional. This is a web address to which their system can reply with the info necessary to complete the two way process of the transaction.
They are thinking in terms of web based applications, but for those of us who have clients who still need site based systems, and not web based, this provides a challenge.
My thought is it would be nice to have an application, running as a service, that can listen on the WAN IP ( the shop based server ), and receive these responses. In essence, it would be a lightweight web server handling very little data.
Perhaps someone here has addressed this issue already, or maybe someone even has a solution we can build with FiveWin.
I would enjoy hearing your feedback.
