• Processes a full array of payment types – credit, PIN-based debit, electronic benefits transfer (EBT), electronic check and gift card
• Supports dynamic currency conversion (DCC) in both physical and e-commerce environments – enabling customers to make purchases in U.S. dollars or their home currency, and providing your business a new source of revenue

Powerful, Secure Data Management

• Fully-hosted solution by Allied Systems minimizes your security liability and ensures card association regulations and standards are met – without the need for expensive compliance audits
• Allows you to establish business rules for e-commerce transactions that fall outside your normal business patterns – flagging transactions by type, value, or other criteria – to process most transactions automatically, but “pend” those that need further review

• Maintains a detailed, 12-month history and supplies powerful, easy-to-use tools to identify trends and analyze transactions over time
• Employs the latest SSL certificate encryption technologies to ensure transactions are processed in a safe and secure manner

• Enables you to process authorizations at the time of sale, but submit transactions for settlement at a later date, without re-keying the transaction data – ideal for MO/TO or delayed delivery environments

• Relies on a familiar browser-based interface, making screens very easy to navigate
• Offers instant assistance when needed using screen-sensitive “help”
