SECURE ONLINE ENVIRONMENT

Customers make their payments in Worldline's secure online environment. Access to Worldline's systems is protected by Firewall technology.

The Firewall allows you to use certain services and block others. It also prevents unauthenticated users from gaining access to systems and databases containing confidential data and information.

DATA ENCRYPTION

The personal information of your customers who pay by card in your e-shop is protected by the TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol. Their info is transferred at 256-bit encryption using the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol.

This way, your e-shop does not have access to their personal data, e.g. card number and expiry date, CVV2 / CVC2 code.

With a Redirect or Direct connection, you can make transactions in your e-shop. Additionally, you can make telephone or postal sales.

REDIRECT CONNECTION

If you have a Redirect connection, the customer pays you for their purchases in your e-shop through Worldline's online environment.

2. They fill out their card information and complete their payment. You are automatically notified of the completion of the payment through the Worldline platform.
3. Your e-shop is notified of the successful completion of the transaction. They then return to your company's e-shop.

With a Redirect connection, your company's e-shop does not have access to the customer's card details. This facilitates the shop's certification according to PCI DSS standards.

In addition, you can choose how the payment page is displayed in Worldline's online environment:

• Redirection – use the payment page from Worldline's systems
• iFrame – configure the payment page according to your ideas and aesthetics.

See the guide with technical instructions for the Redirect connection (available only in English).

DIRECT CONNECTION

If you have a Direct connection, your customer makes their purchases in your e-shop and fills in their card details in the online environment of your business.

Direct connection is suitable if you manage a large volume of transactions. It is important for your business systems to:

• Have developed infrastructure.
• Transfer data with a minimum of 128bit encryption using the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol.
