Security Best Practices
Additional Best Practices
Connect to the
Payment Gateway Using Advanced Integration Method (AIM) The payment
gateway promotes AIM as the preferred connection method for
processing transactions. Using AIM, you can securely connect your
server directly to the gateway server to process transactions in
realtime.
With this method, you can retain full control of the
data that is used in the processing of the transaction, and keep the
customer on your own Website during the entire transaction. Note: In
order to implement AIM effectively, it is recommended that you store
scripts used to submit sensitive account information to the payment
gateway (i.e., your login ID and password or transaction key) on a
server separate from the one that hosts your payment form and other
Web pages.
If you are currently using WebLink to submit
transactions to the payment gateway, you are strongly encouraged to
convert to AIM or Simple Integration
Method (SIM). SIM is an increased security option
for merchants that cannot easily establish an end-to-end Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) connection to the payment gateway.
Consider Using a Certified Shopping Cart
If you cannot easily integrate to the payment
gateway using AIM or SIM, you should seriously consider using an
alternative web hosting or shopping cart solution.
VERIFYBLUE-certified shopping carts are ideal because they maintain
the highest security standards for submitting transactions to the
payment gateway.
Using an
VERIFYBLUE.COM
E-certified shopping cart allows
you to submit transactions securely without having to upgrade Web
systems and security yourself.
Be Suspicious of Transaction Amounts that are not in
the Usual Range of Your Customers'
Average Ticket
Suspicious transactions may consist of random
amounts ranging from one dollar to thousands of dollars. Carefully
monitor your account for this type of activity and void suspicious
transactions.
Monitor Your Batches
You should always be aware of the transactions that
are being processed through your account. Know the time that your
transactions are settled (see the Transactions Cut-Off Time page in
the Merchant Interface Settings menu) and always review transactions
before settlement occurs. Monitor unsettled transactions and void
any suspicious transactions. Constant monitoring is the first step
in the detection of suspicious transaction activity.
