Getting started with retail

Nexio's Retail platform allows you to seamlessly integrate checkout and save card pages into your company's software, all while limiting your PCI scope. For a general overview of the retail features, see Form (Retail Payments) in the Getting Started section.

Nexio's retail iframes enable you to save a credit or debit card token for use in recurring billing or one-time payments, and they allow you to process a credit or debit card transaction by keying in the card number or using a terminal.

In addition, you can still do voids, captures, and refunds for retail transactions through the API or the Nexio Dashboard as well as enabling built-in fraud protection services (for more information about these, see Fraud prevention overview).

Retail iframe workflow

Nexio's retail payment forms can be accessed at https://retail.nexiopaysandbox.com and https://retail.nexiopay.com. But you can also create your own integration to the retail iframe.

The general workflow for using a retail iframe includes the following steps:

  1. Configuring your terminal device:
    1. Configuring your terminal for NMI
    2. Configuring your terminal for USAePay
  2. Connecting the terminal device to the Nexio merchant account, depending on which method the gateway and terminal supports:
    1. Pairing the terminal
    2. Registering terminals (and deregistering as applicable)
  3. Determining whether and how to customize and prefill the iframe: Customizing the retail iframe
  4. If wanted, Using simple login for authentication
  5. If creating your own integration to the iframe, Creating a save card page with the retail iframe
  6. Processing retail transactions, depending on the type:
    1. Running a keyed transaction with the iframe
    2. Processing a transaction with a terminal
