Introduction

The SoftPoint Iframe is a feature that enables an easy integration of an ecommerce payment screen into your web page.

A payment iframe is a secure embedded form on a webpage that handles payment processing without exposing sensitive financial data to the merchant's website. How it works is SoftPoint provides an integration to our hosted HTML element that displays a payment forum onto a hosted webpage to allow a fully imbedded payment solution hosted by SoftPoint.

This seamless integration appears as part of the merchant's checkout page while running on SoftPoint's isolated environment. Utilizing softpoint Iframe grants our customers complete data isolation as sensitive payment data never touches or passes through the merchant's servers, reducing their security liability and enhances peace of mind by allowing softpoint to handle your payment data.

The integration process consists of two simple steps:

1. Generating an access token - this token is a secure encryption method that allows SoftPoint to store card information WITHOUT storing sensitive card data.
2. Embedding the SoftPoint iframe into your web page

For implementation validation, SoftPoint first provides access to a Sandbox environment. You will need the following details prior to getting started with your Iframe integration testing:

• base URL: [provided by SoftPoint prior to integration]
• iframe URL: [provided by SoftPoint prior to integration]
• location id
• api_key
• client ID

Detailed instructions and examples for these steps are provided in the following sections.
