Until now, securing card data has been one of the hardest and most expensive aspects for small to mid-sized merchants when is comes to PCI DSS compliance. By integrating to MerchantWARE, from Merchant Warehouse, your payment processing system can meet, and surpass, virtually all PCI guidelines related to data networks and security.
As with most great technology solutions, the best are often the most simple. MerchantWARE leverages the new MagSafe card reader from Magtek. This inexpensive, and easy to install, card reader encrypts the card data AT THE SWIPE meaning that the merchant never has access to card data on their systems. If it isn’t there, it can’t be stolen.
After the data is encrypted, it is sent to the MerchantWare Payment Gateway where it is decrypted and sent to the processors for validation. But that isn’t enough for us. We realize merchants need to print reports and adjust or refund transactions. With our online reporting tool, you can do all of this, and more, without every exposing your systems or customers to potential data breaches.
