Key details
PCI compliance with Recurly.js elements
Recurly.js introduces "Elements", a feature that seamlessly integrates secure payment fields into your checkout process. This not only maintains a consistent and customizable user experience, it can help you qualify for reduced PCI scope.
Open source commitment
We believe in transparency and collaboration. That's why Recurly.js is open-source. We invite developers to view, modify, and improve the code on our GitHub repository. Together, we aim to refine and optimize Recurly.js to cater to diverse needs.
The mechanism behind Recurly.js
When your customer finalizes their payment, Recurly.js takes charge. It securely transmits the customer's payment details to Recurly, where it's encrypted and stored. In return, you receive an authorization key. This key, also known as a token, empowers you to perform any operation via our API that necessitates payment details. The beauty of this process is its security – you never directly handle sensitive payment data, significantly minimizing your PCI scope.
