Hosted Payment Form for Mobile

Hosted Pay Mobile delivers seamless PCI compliance for merchants.

When used to place online orders via the internet or on-board applications, smartphones must adhere to the strict requirements of PCI-DSS standards just like browser accessing an online shopping application. While meeting PCI compliance requirements as an e-commerce merchant can be a daunting task, an incredibly complex and expensive undertaking where the rules are often changing. That’s why CRE Secure makes it easy to leverage our PCI Compliant process to manage the storage, transmittal, and processing of your customers’ sensitive credit card for mobile payment transactions.

Secure credit card acceptance for e-commerce transactions for iPhone and Android users.

CRE Secure Hosted Pay Mobile is designed to seamlessly integrate into the payment checkout processes used on the iPhone and Android. The PCI compliant and patented mobile payment form is presented to the smartphone user to capture the cardholder data. To the shopper, the experience is seamless. Shoppers never realize that the payment form came from a secure PCI compliant vault location and not the merchant site.

Most gateways and other hosted payment services offer their own heavily branded checkout payment pages and require the uploading and maintaining of static template pages. Many websites designed with feature-rich content use iframe and java script techniques to effectively present the content to the viewer. While great for delivering a quality user experience, this approach introduces many possible attack vectors that could result in the insertion of malicious code in the website and cause a potential data breach.

Not anymore. With Hosted Pay Mobile from CRE Secure, our hosted payment acceptance platform is built into the merchant’s mobile payment acceptance page and the mobile payment form is served up to the consumer’s smartphone in a private, heavy-encrypted secure connection between the consumer and CRE Secure.

The Result?

CRE Secure’s hosted mobile payment solution provides an efficient and economical way for merchants who support storefronts and shopping carts optimized for mobile to achieve PCI compliance.
