Using Secure Acceptance Checkout API

 

Secure Acceptance Checkout API was previously called Secure Acceptance Silent Order POST.

CyberSource Secure Acceptance Checkout API provides a seamless customer checkout experience that keeps your branding consistent. You can create a Secure Acceptance Checkout API profile and configure the required settings to set up your customer checkout experience.

Secure Acceptance Checkout API can significantly reduce your Payment Card Industry Security Standard (PCI DSS) obligations by sending payment data directly from your customer’s browser to CyberSource servers. Your web application infrastructure does not come into contact with the payment data and the transition is silent.

Secure Acceptance is designed to process transaction requests directly from the customer browser so that sensitive payment data does not pass through your servers. If you do intend to send payment data from your servers, use the SOAP Toolkit API or the Simple Order API. Sending server-side payments using Secure Acceptance incurs unnecessary overhead and could result in the suspension of your Secure Acceptance profile and subsequent failure of transactions.

To create your customer checkout experience you will take these steps:

1	Create and configure Secure Acceptance Checkout API profiles.

2

Update the code on your web site to POST payment data directly to CyberSource from your secure payment form (see Sample Transaction Process Using JSP). CyberSource processes the transaction on your behalf by sending an approval request to your payment processor in real time. See Secure Acceptance Transaction Flow.

3	Use the reply information to generate an appropriate transaction response page to display to the customer. You can view and manage all orders in the Business Center. You can configure the payment options, response pages, and customer notifications. See Creating a Checkout API Profile.
