Overview

The QuickClick ordering system allows you to create order buttons and/or order forms for your website. When customers are ready to check out, they will be forwarded to NMI to enter their billing information. Therefore, you will not need a secure certificate to utilize the QuickClick system

Some of the many key advantages are listed below: 

  • An SSL certificate is not required by the merchant as QuickClick is hosted on our PCI-DSS Level 1 Servers.
  • Only basic HTML knowledge is needed.
  • The merchant doesn't need to store credit card numbers.
  • Branding and color customization is available.

 

Prerequisites

To implement this integration option, the merchant will need:

  • A basic understanding of the back end of their web host. 
  • Ability to Copy & Paste Generated Code.

QuickClick Button Generator & Button Types

Shopping Cart:

  • After clicking on "Add to Cart", the customer will be redirected to a shopping cart page. There, the customer can choose to continue browsing your site for other products and services, or they can purchase the items in their cart. If you anticipate that your customers will buy several different products or services at one time, a shopping cart would be most appropriate.

Single Item, Fixed price:

  • After clicking on "Buy Now", the customer can be sent directly to a checkout page, where they will be asked for their Name, Address, and Credit Card information. If your customers typically purchase only one product or service at a time, this may be the best approach.

Donations:

  • After specifying an amount and clicking on "Donate", the customer will be sent directly to a checkout page, where they will be asked for their Name, Address, and Credit Card information.

Recurring Payments:

  • Customers will be able to sign up for any of your current recurring plans you have set up for your merchant account. On checkout, customers will be charged and then added to a recurring subscription.

This tutorial will show you how to use this gateway’s hosted shopping cart solution. You’ll learn how to use the button generator to create links or buttons so customers can make purchases from your website.

Common Issues

  • The customer must be transferred to our website to complete the purchase. While the merchant can customize the appearance of their QuickClick pages, some users may still be able to tell that they're no longer on the merchant's website.
  • The 'Donation' button is easily the most popular. Although some are drawn away from the name Donation. Keep in mind that when utilizing the HTML code the verbiage "Button" can be customized.
  • Certain types of transactions, such as credits and voids, are not supported using the QuickClick method.
  • Currently, QuickClick is only suitable for web applications.
  • QuickClick only supports credit card and electronic check processing. There are currently no plans to support other payment types within QuickClick. For example, QuickClick cannot accept cash and money order transactions.

 

QuickClick Security Enhancements - 2020-03-09 Expanded Release Notes

QuickClick was recently updated to use Collect.js to make it more secure. This update makes changes to what merchants are allowed to include in their custom QuickClick profiles. This will make the page more secure, but will also limit what merchants are able to do with customization.

The big change is that Javascript is now blocked on the page. If the merchant has <script> tags in their Header Text or Footer Text sections, that Javascript will not execute. Nor will any Javascript loaded from external URLs in the Header/Footer URL fields of their profile. This change prevents bad actors from doing things to trick customers into entering sensitive data into things like fake text fields on the page, among other possible attacks.

In the near future, we will also be disabling all inline CSS from loading in custom QuickClick profiles. This will prevent Javascript from being run in “clever” ways. For now, this will be allowed, but will soon be disabled.


You will see 2 new merchant flags related to these changes. These flags allow us to whitelist specific merchant accounts from each of the above restrictions. All merchants should have the inline styles flag set, and the Javascript one not set.

To limit the immediate impact of this change, a small number of merchants using script tags will have the “Allow merchant to use inline Javascript in QuickClick” flag set as well.
