The Challenge

As merchants grow, so does the complexity of the demands the marketplace puts on them. Many need to access more transaction and customer information than can be acquired at a traditional point-of-sale,and where they take orders needs to be flexible as their business expands. Yet merchants still need their transactions to be processed reliably and quickly, while keeping costs under control and security tight.

The Solution

The Payment Software for Windows® software solution transmits payment information over high-speed Internet connections. PC's running Payment Software are better than terminals: they reduce redundancy, free up counter space for products and, by offering a one-time fee for licensing,save the merchant the cost of per click fees to process payments. In addition, transaction history is archived for up tonine years for more comprehensive reporting.

Here's How It Works

The Payment Software supports the payment types you need now or in the future. It provides full documentation and online help for installation and operation, including network capabilities. The Payment Software solution runs on virtually any PC or PC-based POS register platform, supports multiple operating systems and gives you features and flexibility to better manage your payment acceptance. Plus, the Payment Software product line is one of the few fullservice,full-feature offerings that is PABP-validated (Payments Applications Best Practices) by VISA® in order to be compliant with all applicable data security standards and practices for payment software providers
