Introduction
Worldline Sips is a secure multi-channel e-commerce payment solution that complies with the PCI DSS standard. It allows you to accept and manage payment transactions by taking into account business rules related to your activity (payment on despatch, deferred payment, recurring payment, payment in instalments, etc.).
In order to respect the security aspects of the secret key, it must be renewed every two years. Every secret key therefore has a validity of two years and expires at the end of this period.
In order to warn you that your secret keys are about to expire, three levels of alert emails are sent to the administrative contact and the technical contact registered on the Worldline Sips side on the shop level.
- The first email is sent 90 days before the key expires and has the following subject : Renouvellement de la clé secrète / Key Secret Renewal
- The second email is sent 45 days before the key expires and has the following subject : RAPPEL : Renouvellement de la clé secrète / REMINDER : Key Secret Renewal
- The third email is sent 20 days before the key expires and has the following subject : DERNIERE ALERTE : Renouvellement de la clé secrète / LAST REMINDER : Key Secret Renewal
It is essential to renew the secret key before it expires and to update your environment with the new key / version because after the expiration of the secret key, you will no longer be able to trade with the Worldline Sips platform. Please also be sure to inform your usual Worldline Sips contact person of any changes to the administrative and technical contacts registered at your shop in our databases.
