Credit Card Processing Equipment

Accepting non-cash payments has been proven to raise sales, expand marketshare, and increase customer satisfaction. If your business plans on accepting electronic payments in either a traditional or online environment, you are going to need the right credit card travel agent processing equipment. But with so many different credit card travel agent processing machines out there, how do you know which one you should choose?

Selecting the credit card travel agent processing terminal that is best suited for your business depends on the type and volume of transactions your business processes. Consider the following questions when selecting your unique payment solution:

Will you be swiping the credit or debit card through a terminal? In most traditional retail environments, the customer and credit card are present at the time of the transaction. For card-present transactions, you will need a terminal that enables you to swipe the credit card and give your customer a printed record of the transaction. Our wide selection of credit card travel agent processing equipment includes state-of-the-art point of sale terminals with integrated printers and real time travel agent processing capabilities.

How many credit and debit card transactions does your business process on a daily or monthly basis? Businesses that process large volumes of swiped (card-present) credit and debit card transactions should consider one of our credit card travel agent processing machines with a thermal printer, which are faster and more reliable than traditional printers. For only a nominal increase in price, you can significantly raise your efficiency and your customers' satisfaction.

Is your business going to accept debit cards? For debit card transactions, it is a good idea to select a credit card travel agent processing terminal with a PIN pad in order to reduce your overall costs and offer your customers additional payment options.

Are you a mobile merchant who will be completing transactions in various locations? Wireless-enabled, battery operated credit card travel agent processing equipment allows merchants to quickly process secure transactions without needing an available power outlet or a phone line. Lightweight wireless terminals also reduce the risk of fraudulent card use by enabling the merchant to swipe and authorize the credit card at the time of the transaction.

Will you be travel agent processing transactions over the Internet? Payment gateways and internet merchant accounts enable online merchants to process and authorize credit card transactions in real time using any computer with Internet access. We offer the cost-effective NMI or Authorize.net ® Payment Secure Payment Gateway with enhanced security features.

How do I know if I need a payment gateway? All online merchants who want to accept credit card payments on their website need both a merchant account and a payment gateway. The merchant account is set up to collect the approved credit card funds. The payment gateway, also known as the virtual terminal, performs all the functions point of sale and wireless terminals perform. This includes sending the credit card information to the issuing bank for authorization, notifying the merchant account how much money has been approved for transfer, and alerting the customer if the card was accepted or declined.

From point of sale terminals to portable wireless terminals, International Card Establishment offers the largest selection of credit card travel agent processing equipment on the Internet.
