Integrated Credit Cards - how they work

DataTran is a self-contained payment processing device which is designed for all hardware architectures and operating
systems. DataTran accepts commands through a serial interface from any type of device or system and can communicate with a processing provider using a variety of communications methods. With its on board modem, it uses phone line (dial up) and with optional external adapters, can use wireless, satellite or Internet connections.

PAYMENT  SOLUTIONS
SAM4s Integrated Payment ECR Systems

Millions of merchants use standalone credit authorization terminals.
If the merchant also uses a cash register, a credit sale becomes a two-step process: first, register the sale on the cash register and then input the sale into the credit authorization terminal (CAT). An integrated system requires the sale to be processed only once. When the operator presses a credit payment key on the SAM4s ECR, the register display prompts the operator to slide the card and the payment process is completed on the register. The SAM4s ECR will print both the credit voucher and the customer receipt on a fast thermal printer. This is the same payment process you will experience with high-cost POS equipment used by chain stores. Many advantages are obvious: it’s faster, you use one piece of equipment instead of two, and the opportunity for errors is eliminated.


A real-life example: Your clerk registers a $98.00 sale on the register and then inputs $.98 at the CAT, inadvertently missing the double-zero key. The clerk never notices the error and the customer signs for and is charged $.98. You lose $97.02. Do you compare your register and CAT totals?
Do they always agree?

Benefits of Payment Integration ...Affordable?

An affordable lease option means that you may be able to upgrade to an integrated system for about the same per/month fee you may already be paying for renting or leasing a standalone CAT.
