SlimCD Activation and Configuration

SlimCD is an e-commerce platform and gateway that provides businesses with the ability to send invoices to customers via email or text, receive payments through hosted payment pages, buy now/click-to-pay buttons, and a virtual terminal, and have payments integrated with QuickBooks® for reconciliation. 

SlimCD's integration with the Bank of America Gateway leverages the bank's Card Not Present Integration Toolkit integration method to help meet the Self-Assessment Questionnaire A (SAQ A) Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance level.

NOTE:
The SlimCD back office dashboard may display additional payment features and functions that are not supported through Merchant Services with Bank of America. Refer to SlimCD Payment Features for what is supported. If you wish to use additional features contact SlimCD.
