BENEFITS OF OMNI CHANNEL PAYMENTS

By integrating all of your sales channels into a single payment platform, your organization will save money by not having to pay multiple companies.

As with all transactions that run through the CardPointe gateway, your company is protected by the patented P2PE (point-to-point encryption) CardSecure. CardSecure reduces PCI Scope due to its elevated method of protecting customer’s credit card data.

IMPLEMENTING OMNI CHANNEL COMMERCE
If you currently have multiple vendors for accepting payments, then finding a trusted merchant services company such as True Merchant for omni channel commerce is the step you want to take.

But what if you don’t have an omni channel payments solution currently in place?
With a little effort and the right solution, creating the perfect omni channel payments plan can be done. First, you should follow an outline for all of the methods you want to add the ability for customers to make payments to your company.

It is as simple as writing out a list of questions such as:
How do we want to accept payments in brick & mortar?
Are we okay with using credit card terminals or should we integrate payments within our software? (If so, will our software provider integrate credit card transactions?)
Do we want to allow customers to make payments on our website?
Do we have a person(s) within our company that should accept payments over the phone via a virtual terminal?

Accomplishing adding these elements will surely provide a better experience for your customers.
