Hosted Payment Pages and API Usage Information
Your Moneris Payment Gateway account is being converted to SLIM CD. Your company has been identified as using either Moneris Hosted Payment Pages, or the Moneris API to send credit card transactions to the Moneris Gateway. This integration will have to be converted to SLIM CD’s APIs so that you can continue to accept payments.
SLIM CD offers both Hosted Payment Pages/Secure Sessions and a variety of Direct-Connect APIs that support server-to-server connectivity for accepting payments. Please review with your technical team to identify which method and technology of payment acceptance you currently utilize, so that SLIM CD can assist in making this transition as rapid and painless as possible.
We have training sessions available on the following dates, so your team can review the SLIM CD offerings and identify ways to use our technology to support or expand how you accept payments

Overview
SLIM CD Hosted Payment Pages
This document is intended to provide an overview of the features available with SLIM CD’s Hosted Payment Pages. It provides information that can be used to help identify which features of SLIM CD’s Hosted Payment pages that best fit individual needs of merchants.
Advantages of SLIM CD Hosted Payment Pages
SLIM CD’s Hosted Payment Pages are highly customizable to fit the data entry and transaction flow requirements of a wide range of use cases. Hosted Payment Pages start by capturing the basic cardholder information (cardnumber, expiry date, etc). The merchant may also place additional input fields on the form so that this information is collected from the consumers. These additional fields can be sent to the payment gateway to assist in payment processing, such as billing address information, or these additional fields can be used to collect information that is not used in payment processing but provides data to meet the specific needs of the merchant.
The “look and feel” of SLIM CD’s Hosted Payment Pages can be modified by the merchant to fit their needs. A complete form configuration tool is built into the SLIM CD website that allows a merchant to specify page colors, fonts, and more. Additional form fields can be placed on the page using this tool. All standard web form elements are available, including pulldown menus, radio buttons or even simple user-entry fields for typing information.
All Hosted Payment Page transactions generate “tokens” that can be stored by the merchant and used to perform subsequent transactions without retaining the actual cardnumbers. For merchants that elect to store these “tokens”, SLIM CD also offers additional services such as Account Updater and Large Batch Processing.
Types of Pages / Use Cases
SLIM CD’s Hosted Pages can be used when implementing solutions to a variety of common needs and use cases. These include:
- Donation pages (pages that do not get pre-filled with consumer information, and are simply links on a web page or email that allows a consumer to make a payment or donation)
- Integration into checkout or payment processes, where the page is pre-filled with specific consumer transaction information (such as amount, customer name, etc)
- PCI Scope reduction by tokenizing cardholder data. These pages are extremely simple and primarily capture the cardnumber information, returning a “token” to be used in processes outside of the hosted payment page.
- Integration into Mail-Order or POS systems to allow manual (typed) cardnumber entry while keeping the POS software “out of scope” for PCI
Standard Templates
SLIM CD has created a standard page template for merchants converting from the Moneris Hosted Payment Page solution to SLIM CD’s Hosted Payment Page solution. This template can be customized, but it contains many of the most popularly requested form elements (such as billing name, address, etc). Each merchant can add or remove page elements to fit their needs, alter the colors of the page, and more. The transaction flow controls can be added so the page can be integrated into a web or POS based checkout process. Receipts can be emailed to consumers and the merchant for each successful transaction.

Your developers are usually familiar with the types of integrations you perform and how best to fit your existing implementation into the services we offer. They can review the above information and select the approach that best fits your current implementation.
We can help you reduce your PCI scope by keeping your website or POS “out of scope” for PCI so that it does not need to be scanned. We can help mail order/phone order (keyed) transactions remain out of scope and we can even help accept EMV/Chip card transactions… all with the same set of APIs listed above!
We support encryption and tokenization so you can store references to on-file cardholder data without ever having to “touch, store or transmit” the card if you choose to do so. We provide all of the tools you need for complete control over your payment implementation, including features such as recurring billing, large batch processing, account updater, and more!
