Flex Microform 0.4.4
Flex Microform is a CyberSource-hosted page that replaces
the card number input field and calls the Flex API on your behalf.
You can style this page to look like and behave the
same as any other field on your website. This might qualify you
for PCI DSS assessments based on SAQ A.
Flex Microform provides the most secure method for tokenizing
card data. Sensitive data is encrypted on the customer’s device
before HTTPS transmission to CyberSource. This method mitigates any
compromise of the HTTPS connection by a man-in-the-middle attack.
How It Works
Flex
Microform allows you to focus on creating the best possible checkout
experience for your customers.
The provided JavaScript library
enables you to replace the sensitive card number input field with a
secure iframe (hosted by CyberSource), that captures data on your
behalf. This embedded field will look and feel just like any other
input in your checkout process, allowing you to create a smooth,
user-friendly experience.
When captured, the card number is
replaced with a mathematically irreversible token that can be used
only by you. The token can be used in place of the card number for
follow-on transactions in existing CyberSource APIs.
PCI Compliance
The
least burdensome level of PCI compliance is SAQ A. To achieve this
compliance, sensitive payment data must be captured securely by
a validated payment provider.
To meet this requirement, Flex
Microform renders a secure iframe containing the card number input.
This iframe is hosted by CyberSource and payment data is submitted
directly to CyberSource through the secure Flex API , thus never
touching your systems.
As user experience is an integral part
of any modern e-commerce application, we provide all the tools required
to blend seamlessly with your checkout experience. Various event
hooks and styling options are available to facilitate, maximizing
customizability without compromising PCI compliance.
