Prerequisite 

Chargebee currently uses Spreedly, a third party card vault, to store the customer's card information. If you are using Orbital's services already, you will have to migrate your customer's card information to Spreedly to start using Chargebee with Orbital. Contact support  for more information on the migration process.

Integration Options 

Option A Chargebee's Hosted Checkout pages + Orbital

In this method, a customer's card information is collected by Chargebee's secure hosted pages and passed on to Orbital.

Your PCI compliance requirements are greatly reduced because of Chargebee's hosted pages. As a merchant using Chargebee's hosted pages, all you have to do is submit a Self Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ-A)  to stay compliant.

PCI Compliance Requirements: Low

Option B Chargebee API + Orbital

With this option, the collection of card information is handled at your end and is passed on to Chargebee later. Once captured, Chargebee would route the card information to Orbital.

PCI Compliance Requirements: High

In case this authorization fails, the customer cannot add their card. If you wish to activate this authorization, enable card verification.

  • Always retain card information in Orbital when customer updates it: Enable this option if you are using multiple payment gateways and you want the customer's latest card information to be updated in Orbital.
