Who is a good candidate to use a Secure Acceptance Hosted Checkout?
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 - Value the ability to add/drop payment types and make other changes to the
checkout pages without code change - Require mobile optimized checkout screens
- Require checkout pages in different languages
- Have a resource familiar with basic Perl, PHP, JSP, ASP.NET or Ruby
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
A Secure Acceptance Hosted Checkout is probably not right for you if...
- You already have your own PCI DSS compliant order form or don't want to
outsource - You need full customization control of your payment page
What are the main advantages of using the Secure Acceptance Hosted Checkout?
- Security Compliance—hosted services mean faster and easier PCI
certification - Reduced Risk—no need to handle or store sensitive account data
- Mobile Optimization – users on mobile devices are presented with the best
checkout experience - Global Ready – Language packs cover all major ecommerce markets and
more - Easy Trials and Testing – Changes to the checkout pages are easily

data for easy future payments. - Low Maintenance—leave compliance and order page maintenance to us
- Speed—faster and easier than implementing your own checkout 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
What technical skills are required?
Secure Acceptance Hosted Checkout is very easy to implement and requires
minimal scripting knowledge. We offer sample code in Perl, PHP, JSP,
ASP.NET and Ruby. 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 Secure Acceptance Hosted Checkout 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
