Customer Initiated Transactions

CIT are straight transactions / initials made on a checkout page.

Suggest Edits

The following components need to be implemented throughout the system.

The ones you need to integrate will be determined by your integration type.

Standard integration

First phase of the integration only requires basic features. Better cure rates can be obtained through a more advanced integration.

Frontend

Embed and invoke this component on your checkout pages.

  • SenseJS: FlexCharge needs to receive the customer's activity fingerprinting with SenseJS.

Backend

Incorporate these API calls in your transaction flow.

  • Tokenization: for every customer going through your checkout page, you have to encrypt the credit card information with FlexCharge, and store the returned token in your customer database.
  • Transmit: on successful transactions, queue a call to /transmit. FlexCharge will build your custom risk model based on your successful transactions.
  • Evaluate: send your declined transactions to /evaluate for FlexCharge to analyze then rescue/decline it.

Advanced integration

Additional features will increase your cure rate.

  • UI Widget: in case FlexCharge requires additional information from the customer, the UI Widget allows direct input.

  • Outcome: for async calls, retrieve FlexCharge's response with /outcome or via a webhook.
