PayFields

PayFields embeds a Payrix-hosted iFrame on your payment page, which makes it possible to format each field using custom CSS.

PayFields is a hosted payment solution that enables a merchant to securely accept payments directly on their website or checkout page. PayFields includes features that support customizing the look and feel of the checkout page while providing access to Payrix’s PCI Level 1 Certification for payment security and compliance.

It is important as an integrator to ensure that card data is only supplied in secure credit card fields and that the implementation is correct to maintain reduced PCI scope.

Payrix provides the following resources for merchants that are integrating PayFields into their sites:

Customer Experience

PayFields integrates seamlessly with a merchant’s existing checkout experience by adding individual payment-related fields to the payment page. The payment fields are served by Payrix, which ensures the security and compliance of the data entered by a customer.
