Functions of myBills<br />
Hosted Payment Page (HPP)<br />
The HPP provides merchants with <strong>the</strong> required functionality to securely<br />
process online payments through <strong>the</strong>ir own websites. It operates by essentially<br />
redirecting customers on <strong>the</strong> merchant website to a separate, secure page to<br />
enter confidential / sensitive payment data. The page has <strong>the</strong> same look and<br />
feel of <strong>the</strong> merchant website, but is hosted by a trusted third party such that<br />
<strong>the</strong> merchant never gains access to <strong>the</strong> payment data. The status of processed<br />
payments is <strong>the</strong>n communicated in real-time to <strong>the</strong> web application via a<br />
backchannel.<br />
