Hosted Order Page

Our Hosted Order Page (HOP) service is a fast and easy way for your Web store to accept credit card and check payments. Your customers enter their own payment information into a secure order page hosted on our site. CyberSource provides your order page, collects the data, processes the payment and provides a receipt without the customer realizing they have left your Web site.

Who is a good candidate to use a Hosted Order Page?

Businesses who:

  • Don't want the risk of handling or storing sensitive payment data on their own servers
  • Want to achieve and maintain payment security (PCI) certification faster and easier
  • Have a resource familiar with basic Perl, PHP, JSP, ASP, ASP.NET or Cold Fusion scripting and host their own server, or use a hosting provider that supports these scripting languages
  • Want to accept payments on our secure URL that looks to be part of their own store
  • Have an online catalog but don't yet have an online order form or secure server for accepting orders

A Hosted Order Page is probably not right for you if...

  • You already have your own secure (SSL) protected order form or don't want to outsource
  • You need full customization control of your payment page
  • You need a wider range of services than payment, recurring billing and secure storage

What are the main advantages of using the Hosted Order Page?

  • Security Compliance—hosted services mean faster and easier PCI certification
  • Reduced Risk—no need to handle or store sensitive account data
  • Secure Storage—access securely-stored account data for easy future payments
  • Low Maintenance—leave compliance and order page maintenance to us
  • Speed—faster and easier than implementing your own order page, especially if you need to begin accepting online orders quickly
  • Basic Customizing—customize basic visual elements and messaging for your customers
  • Virtually Transparent—customers move seamlessly from your product pages to our hosted order form
  • Automatic—customers input their own order information
  • Easy Order Management—you can use the online Business Center to review and manage all of your orders from any computer with Internet access

What technical skills are required?

A Hosted Order Page is very easy to implement and requires minimal scripting knowledge in Perl, PHP, JSP, ASP, ASP.NET or Cold Fusion. The three main actions are:

  • Generate a security key within the CyberSource environment. Place it onto your own Web server to validate your identity to our systems
  • Configure your order page by accepting defaults or customizing it
  • Modify your Web script (copy and paste) so that an HTML "Buy" button appears on your checkout page

You can implement the Hosted Order Page in two ways:

  • Default: use the default receipt/decline pages and messages with limited customization options
  • Customized: have full control to use your own receipt/decline pages and messages
