Integration Option

You can integrate credit card in two ways based on the PCI DSS compliance:

What is PCI DSS?

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is an information security standard for organizations that handle branded credit cards from the major card schemes. The PCI Standard is mandated by the card brands but administered by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council.

Supported Payment Type

Payment Type
Description

SALE

This is a single transaction where the authorization (approval of funds) and capture (deduction from the card) happen at the same time. It’s common for retail purchases where funds are immediately processed.

Authorize Capture

This involves two steps. First, the authorization checks if funds are available and reserves them but doesn’t immediately deduct them. Later, a capture request completes the transaction and deducts the funds. Often used for services where a final amount might not be determined upfront, like hotels or rentals.

Installment

Allows cardholders to split the payment over a series of periodic payments (e.g., monthly) instead of paying the entire amount upfront. It’s a way to make larger purchases more manageable and is generally arranged in collaboration with the acquiring bank.

MOTO

This is a type of transaction where the card is not physically present, typically used in orders taken over the phone or by mail. Merchants manually enter the card details into the system.

Recurring

Designed for ongoing services (like subscriptions), where the card is automatically charged at regular intervals (e.g., monthly). It requires the cardholder’s consent for ongoing billing and doesn’t need their card information every time.
