Hosted Payment Pages
Hosted Payment Pages are secure, third-party web pages provided by payment service providers (PSPs) or payment gateways to handle online transactions. They allow merchants to outsource the collection of payment information, such as credit card details, without storing sensitive data on their own servers. This approach simplifies PCI DSS compliance and reduces the security burden for businesses.
Developers should use Hosted Payment Pages when building e-commerce or subscription-based applications that require secure payment processing without handling sensitive payment data directly. They are ideal for small to medium-sized businesses that want to minimize compliance costs and development complexity, as they offload security and regulatory responsibilities to the payment provider. Use cases include online stores, donation platforms, and SaaS billing systems.
