CALGARY, Nov. 19, 2014 /CNW/ - Calgary-based payment processing company Helcim Inc. is proud to announce the release of Helcim.js. Hosted on Helcim's PCI Level-1 payment gateway, the JavaScript plugin facilitates a client-side transaction between the client's web-browser and the payment gateway. Once the transaction is processed, the authorization results are submitted back to the merchant's web server. The end result is a fast online credit card transaction without the need for the customer to leave the merchant's website and without the need for the merchant's website to receive or transmit sensitive credit card data.
"Ecommerce merchants have a difficult task of balancing the increased calls for security with the increased calls for user experience. With most traditional credit card processors, merchants can't meet both demands", says Nicolas Beique, Helcim's Founder and CEO. "With our new Helcim.js feature, merchants reduce their PCI security compliance scope while maintaining complete control over their user experience. It's a very clever solution that gives merchants the best of both worlds."
Helcim aims to continue growing its Canadian and US merchant base by including this new feature alongside its traditional payment gateway API, virtual terminal, card-vault and merchant account services.
