Hosted payment forms (sometimes called "Redirect Payment" forms) are pages "hosted" on external, third-party sites to process electronic transactions (i.e. payments made with credit or debit cards). In order to successfully complete each transaction, online shoppers temporarily leave your site and get re-directed to third party site, key in their credit card information, and then return to your e-commerce store.

This process adds extra steps to your check out process and increases likelyhood of abandoned shopping cards, but has several important technical advantages including:

• Customer does not enter credit card information on your site, which greatly reduces risk of a hackers stealing credit card numbers from yor server.
• A reduced risk of being hacked reduces merchant liability
• Simplifies set up and maintenance of credit card interface

Provide a description to identify your configuration entry. For transaction type , we usually want a Purchase transaction, (not athorize with later capture like in car renatal industry). Take note of your ps_store_id and http_key. We will need these later.

Reponse method should be post. Approval and Declined URLs are specific URLs provided by Magento module that display Approval and Declined conditions. These pages also capture values send by http post back to your server.

Note the links back to your site:

http://yoursite.com/en/monerisredirectcan/standard/success/
http://yoursite.com/en/monerisredirectcan/standard/cancel/

To be safe, check off all available information to be returned in transaction response, even if not all is required.
