Given the current economic climate, we decided this month to focus on some of the features of PayPoint.net solutions which can help you cut costs and make our services work harder for you!
Did you know that…
- Deferred ‘pre auth’ transactions
Deferred transactions – also known as ‘pre-authorisations’- can help you to develop new, innovative and more efficient billing models.
Allowing greater flexibility, PayPoint.net merchants can amend or eliminate deferred transactions before they’re settled, reducing processing and refund costs and substantially limiting operational risk. It’s a low cost, liability-free way of reviewing transactions and you’ll also have the opportunity to cancel payments without refunds, or part-settle* orders which have been part-fulfilled! Need more information?
- Automated notifications and call-backs
Did you know that you can streamline your fulfilment processes by keeping your systems in tune with payment authorisations – whichever solution you’re using? While Enterprise merchants using our API already benefit from real-time transaction feedback, clients on most other accounts can also receive automated notifications by email or script call-backs direct to their servers as soon as a payment is authorised. This makes automated fulfilment possible - and because we trigger these updates the second authorisation occurs, you’ll know about a payment before your customer even does! Fulfilment as standard
- 3D Secure
Marginalise risk in your business and slash the cost of fraud by using the only card scheme service guaranteed to remove your liability for qualifying chargebacks (which form 70% of all disputes!)
3D secure (the collective industry name for ‘Verified by Visa’ and ‘MasterCard SecureCode’) works like an online chip and pin system for Card Not Present transactions – and just by adding support for it to your website you’ll automatically shift financial liability for most transactions back to the card issuer. Can you afford not to? Learn more about 3D Secure
- PCI Compliance
If you’re an API merchant struggling with the costs and requirements of the PCI Data Security Standard, why not ask us about the ways we can ease the burden? PayPoint.net can reduce the scope of this difficult compliance requirement – or remove it altogether. We can store your card data so that you need only store a unique substitute reference without any of the security challenges, or better still, by letting us host your branded payment pages ourselves, you’ll be off the hook altogether! We’ve achieved the standard ourselves to the highest level four years in succession so you can turn to us with confidence. Are you an API merchant?
