HostedPCI travel case study

Travel #1

A leading travel company sought to enhance its transaction security by upgrading from 3D Secure 1.0 to 3D Secure 2.0 with a custom flow, choosing Moneris as its service provider. As the demands for security evolved, they partnered with HostedPCI for a seamless integration that met compliance standards and elevated security levels. The major challenge involved integrating Moneris 3D Secure 2.0 into the company’s established payment infrastructure without disrupting existing payment flows or diminishing the customer experience. This required modifications to their existing Custom 3DS 1.0 workflow to include custom-tailored API calls for seamless authentication during transactions.

HostedPCI travel booking case study

Travel #2

The client sought a secure method to collect and store credit card information from their booking page until payment was necessary. The transaction process begins with the dispatch of the first two requests to the airline company to confirm ticket availability. Following this, a third secure transaction, containing the credit card number, is forwarded to the airline. The initial transactions generate a booking number, which is subsequently transmitted, along with the credit card, in the payment request to the airline for processing. Upon finalizing the booking request, the travel company needs the ability to charge the same card for two additional payments — one to the insurance company and the final one to the payment gateway for processing the surcharge.

HostedPCI charity case study

Charity

HostedPCI was approached by a merchant who collaborates with various charities to facilitate their payments through multiple payment processors. This merchant needed a secure method to collect and store credit card data from different charities. The charities, in turn, gather credit card information from donors and store it locally until the merchant can process it. To address this, HostedPCI introduced a new feature called ‘Inbound Message Transfer’. This feature was designed for merchants needing to retrieve credit card data from an SFTP location without compromising their PCI scope. It ensures PCI compliance by preventing the merchant from accessing the actual credit card data, with HostedPCI managing the transfer between individual vendors and the merchant.

By moving the entire collect-store-exchange process to a secure third-party proxy, the client reduced their PCI scope from SAQ Type D (~400 questions) down to SAQ Type A (~11 questions).
