Hosted Payments eliminates the need for software vendors to spend time and expense achieving and maintaining PA-DSS (PABP) compliance. By shifting the responsibility of storing, processing, and transmitting sensitive cardholder data to Element, Hosted Payments removes your software application from the scope of PA-DSS (PABP) compliance.
With Hosted Payments, your application is responsible for collecting all of the non-sensitive data needed to perform a payment transaction. Element then handles all of the sensitive cardholder data, leaving your application free of information susceptible to data thieves.
Software vendors not only avoid the hassle and cost of achieving PA-DSS (PABP) compliance, but because Hosted Payments is integrated with the PCI compliant Express Processing Platform, you are able to offer your customers the highest level of protection from cardholder data compromises.
In addition, with Element’s real-time reporting capabilities, you and the merchants you serve enjoy all of the benefits of a fully integrated payment solution.
