Integrated card processing

Whilst some users will be happy to process credit/debit cards through a separate bank rented card terminal, there are advantages to using the integrated card processing facilities in ProEPOS:

• Transactions are processed securely through your broadband Internet connection - freeing-up the phone line (and removing the need for a dedicated phone line).
• Transactions are processed much quicker (typically 3-5 seconds), increasing customer throughput.
• User error is avoided (there is no double entry of amounts and declined transactions cannot be mistaken as authorised).
• Credit/debit card receipts are printed on the same printer as your receipts, saving on stationery costs and simplifying stationery orders.
• No reconciliation is required (the EPOS card totals are virtually guaranteed to be the same as those processed).
• Card transactions can be reviewed on-line and downloaded as a spreadsheet.

Using the integrated card processing requires an approved pin pad, a reliable broadband Internet connection, a merchant account with an approved provider and a subscription to the EMBOSS bureau service. Please contact your reseller for more information.

Currently approved merchant providers are Lloyds, Barclaycard Merchant Services, Amex, HSBC, Elavon and Streamline.
