Secure Sessions Overview

Hosted Pages/Secure Sessions

Hosted Payment Pages & Secure Sessions remove card number entry from POS/WEB Software.

Pages are configured on SLIM CD’s website so that they match the look and feel of your site. Your systems will pre-load values into the SLIM CD session for a page, display that page, and retrieve the results from payment processing. SLIM CD’s Hosted Pages can produce or email receipts and control duplicate transactions. Developers can have the Hosted Page return to another website upon completion or can remotely monitor the activity occurring on the page to determine the results of payment processing.
This technology can be used to integrate with:

  • POS Systems Replace payment entry on a POS device while retaining real-time checkout functionality.
  • Websites, Shopping Carts, and Custom Checkouts Replace the payment page of a website, cart, donation page, and more with a hosted payment page
  • Mobile Devices Interact directly to accept payment from mobile devices from POS or WEB applications.
  • EMAIL Delivery Send payment requests directly to cardholders via email, whereby the sending system simply monitors the results without touching cardholder data.

These technologies prevents applications from touching cardholder data and can be used to move cardholder data entry completely outside merchant’s network while providing a completely integrated environment.

Hosted Payment Pages

Hosted Payment Pages are graphical forms used for data entry. They also control the receipts. They can control the user experience flow for web merchant.
A Hosted Payment Page for POS or WEB consists of:

  • Forms Forms provide the graphical wrapper and contain the configuration information for how to display the page and handle the data.
  • Fields Fields are contained in forms. They are focused on data, and can capture, store and/or transmit data fields to and from the Hosted Payment Page.
  • Approved/Declined Handling Pages showing approval or decline information can be displayed or skipped, depending on the developer’s integration needs.
  • Receipts Receipts can be customized and emailed to consumers and/or merchants.

Hosted Payment Pages are integrated with the SLIM CD Gateway for payment processing. Hosted Payment Pages can be presented on POS systems or integrated with WEB interfaces. Page URLs can also be sent via Email or SMS-Text, providing direct access to consumers for input of payment information.

Secure Sessions

Secure Sessions controls the flow of data to the Hosted Payment page and from the transaction back to the POS/WEB application.

Secure Sessions provide a wrapper for Hosted Payment Pages so that POS/WEB developers can communicate with Hosted Payment Pages without requiring static IP addresses or allowing inbound traffic through firewalls.

Developers using Secure Sessions can utilize the following functions:

  • CreateSession Initial data to pre-populate the display (name, amount, etc), and retrieves a unique session id.
  • ShowSession Display the Hosted Payment Page using a URL containing the unique Session ID.
  • CheckSession Monitor the results of a session as the consumer/clerk fills out the information
  • CancelSession Prevent the consumer/clerk from continuing, and rendering the payment page as obsolete.
  • SendSession Send the page URL via email or SMS-Text message.
  • MultiSession Show a session from a template used by multiple consumers
