I’ve been asked to integrate a windows form application with SagePay to take payments directly from the application. The SagePay documentation talks about ASP.NET so I’m not sure whether this is possible. Has anyone integrated a WinForm application with SagePay before? Is it possible?
A:
I know some payment processors have a connection option where the payment part is hosted on a form on their server. You could try embedding a web browser control into your app to display the payment page.
Usually there is another type of connection option where you can send your information via HttpWebRequest, but I'm not sure that this would work as it requires SSL. Since you are running your app as a desktop client, I'm not sure what you would have available.

I am not sure this is possible given that sagepay needs to redirect users to Mastercard securecode or Verified by Visa, I think they would need to redirect to the bank which then redirects back to a supplied URL. I would think this needs to be within a browser environment.
