CIM - Do you have to use hosted forms?

maelstrm — Tue, 26 Aug 2014 21:33:38 GMT

I know you can use the hosted forms to create user interfaces for Customer and CustomerPayment Profiles but the API has direct creation methods as well. I'm assuming you can use your own forms and post to Auth.net's services directly instead of using the Hosted Forms option, although then you have CC data flowing through your systems (if not being stored by it).

Am I correct in that assumption?

Also, is there an options where we can create our own forms (with appropriately control IDs) and post back to the Auth.net servers? That avoids the CC data flowing through our systems and gives us creative control over the input forms.

Yes

Nothing like that.

OK, well that's too bad. Cybersource offers that and I was hoping Authnet would as well. So much for Level A compliance instead of Level C.

Thanks!
