Online Payment Hosting (OPH) is one of the on-line card processing services offered by AllSecure International. The aim of this service is to extend the e-commerce potential by means of debit / credit card payment to merchants who lack the resources, time or knowledge to build their own interface to an online payment gateway.

The concept behind the OPH service is rather simple and involves the following straightforward steps:

• You, the merchant, send us a HTML form containing the information about the payment to be affected.
• We process these details and generates a personalised payment capture page where your customer enters his card details.
• Website processes the credit card details entered and authorises or declines the payment via the merchant-acquiring Bank. On successful payment authorisation the payment details are returned to you.

This is a highly secure system in terms of both hardware and software. All communications between your Internet access point and our servers are secured using SSL with 128bit encryption. System also complies with the banking industry's tough security regulations as well as complying with other international regulations and laws (such as the Data Protection Act).

The OPH service runs hand-in-hand with the SecuriLink™ payment authorisation system, a secure card authorisation network developed by S.E. Link Ltd.

As an optional security feature, your information can be encrypted before it is sent to one of the interacting servers .

A rule-of-thumb when one thinks of online payment using the OPH service is “Let System do it for you” as the service is designed to be easily implemented within your e-commerce framework, both as a business solution and as a technical implementation. The OPH service is highly customisable without any loss in performance through the use of parameterised data.
