Cyclos 4 PRO Documentation

Welcome to the Cyclos 4 PRO Documentation. First, this manual contains the Installation and Maintenance guide. Second, this manual will give a detailed description and some examples of how to connect to Cyclos using the webservices. Subsequently, this manual explains the Cyclos scripts, these scripts can be executed by clicking on a menu link, by a scheduled task or by an extension point on a certain function. These scripts make it possible to add new functions to Cyclos and customize Cyclos exactly to the needs of your payment system. Finally, this manual will give an explanation of how to login to Cyclos from an external website. This can be useful if you have a large CMS as a website and you want to have an integrated login to Cyclos in this website.
