How to create and edit a Secure Acceptance profile for Hosted Payments Page (HPP) and Checkout API integrations in a Business Advantage 360 online banking Merchant Services account

What's in this article?

A Secure Acceptance profile is required for Hosted Payments Page (HPP) and Checkout API integrations to the Bank of America Gateway. Once created, a profile must be promoted to Active to go live. Both HPP and Checkout API integration methods require a Secure Acceptance profile and will go through the same steps for profile creation. If you plan to test your integration in the Demonstrations & Certification Environment (DCE), follow the same steps below to create a profile in the DCE for your test account by logging in to DCE instead of your Merchant Services account in online banking.

Create a Secure Acceptance profile for your HPP or Checkout API integration. 

Payment method configuration 

You must configure at least one payment method before you can activate a profile. 

A payment method selection page is displayed as part of the checkout process for any of the following scenarios:

  • Multiple payment methods are enabled for the profile, and no payment_method field is included in the request.
  • payment_method=visacheckout is included in the request.
  • Visa Checkout or Visa Secure Remote Commerce (SRC) is the only enabled payment method for the profile.
