Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Payment card entry | Choose payment card entry when the task is to charge a card, verify a card, save a card payment method, or replace a card-on-file credential. | Users can type, paste, autofill, delete, select, and correct card number, expiry, CVC, and postal code fields without losing entered values. | PCI DSS supports strict treatment for environments that store, process, or transmit payment card account data. |
| Payment collection | Choose payment collection when the main task is taking or reconciling money for a known amount and reference. | Every payment attempt is tied to a stable service reference, amount, currency, and payer context that remains visible before and after provider handoff. | PCI DSS supports protecting payment card data when systems store, process, or transmit cardholder data. |
