Firstdata Global Gateway - Need help getting started

I’m using Coldfusion 9,0,0,251028 on Windows 7 64-bit.

I'm trying to change credit card processors for a website.  I've read the integration guide for the Web Service API  v 4.0, but it doesn't give me much in the way of how I integrate with coldfusion to build the xml that gets enclosed in SOAP and sent.

I've talked to Firstdata's second level support and was told they don't help with programming beyond troubleshooting error codes.  They also told me they have no forum concerning the web service API.

What kind of tags in coldfusion would I use to start this transaction?  Does anyone know where I could find an example or instructions besides the web service api integration guide?

    Before you get started, ask them if they offer any tokenization options that would qualify you to use PCI SAQ-A. If they don't offer tokenization, ask what they do offer that qualifies for SAQ-A. SAQ-A is the path you should use and it should be a prerequisite for all ecommerce sites.

    ColdFusion has pretty good support for consuming SOAP web services, you might checkout the docs to get started: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Developing/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec22c24-7fbf.html

    Also I'd ask if FirstData if they have any ColdFusion examples they can point you to, while they will not help with specific tasks, they might point you to some resources for example: https://firstdata.zendesk.com/entries/407568-first-data-global-gateway-e4sm-web-service-api-sample-code-cold-fusion
