How it works
Server integration is similar to Form integration - it's been designed to pass transaction details to Sage Pay to carry out authorisation. However, additional information can be sent back along with the result of the authorisation for storage within your server.
This means that Server integration is ideal for running order and transaction reports on your own servers, without the need to invest in your own digital certificate or handle shoppers' card details.
- Your customer is redirected to Sage Pay's payment pages to enter their card details.
- This is essentially a secure HTTPS POST between your web server and Sage Pay's servers across a 128-bit encrypted session.
- You can customise the payment page templates to match your company branding.
- Sage Pay sends back the results of the authorisation for you to acknowledge before completion.
- Sensitive card data is stored at Sage Pay but you can store other customer information in your own database.
- Because you can store more information about each transaction, you can create a custom reporting area of your own.
- You can also send remote requests for refunds and repeats (for example, with a click of a button within your software).
What else do I need to know?
For a seamless buying experience Server integration also comes with inFrame technology, where our secure payment page is framed by your branding and your customer doesn’t move from your URL.
If your website is hosted on a shared or third party sever you may be prevented from installing specific components required for Server, Server & inFrame or Direct integration, and should consider using Form integration instead.
Some off-the-shelf shopping carts can only be used with Form integration, so check our list of Sage Pay Partners for a compatible shopping cart provider.
Safely keep and re-use your customers' card details using our Token System, available with this method of integration.
It's easy to set up PayPal as an additional payment option with this type of integration - simply add your PayPal business account details into My Sage Pay.
