Secure PCI 2.0 Credit Card Processing with Dynamics RMS

April 9, 2015April 14, 2011 by G Jason Schnellbacher

Worried about a Dynamics card data breach on that old PC-based point-of-sale? Don’t be with PCI 2.0 encrypted transactions for Dynamics RMS. We can help. We are payment consultants and payment system developers that help retail merchants upgrade to secure credit card processing that is integrated into Microsoft Dynamics RMS. Accepting credit cards inside your retail store operations software can simplify transaction reconciliation, reduce data re-entry errors, and let you get rid of that second phone line. Nice! Processing cards with Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System (RMS) is easier than you think. Trust me, it helps you improve your average checkout time; especially if you qualify for the small ticket retail no-signature-required program. Dynamics RMS supports the wedge-style mag stripe reader (MSR) but be careful with those; there are reports of breaches surfacing. Now, in today’s day and age, you just can’t take the risk; especially if it is easily avoidable. First you need to upgrade your system to RMS 2.0 or higher. Then you need to switch to a processor that can provide you transaction encryption in accordance with PCI 2.0 standards; just recently released. If the card data is protected with end-to-end encryption then data thieves will look elsewhere for much easier targets. Safely integrating credit card processing with Dynamics RMS is available if you know where to find it. If you are reading this then you’ve come to the right place. This solution is new and not available with most processors.

Integrated Credit Card Processing with POS

April 9, 2015April 10, 2011 by G Jason Schnellbacher

Save money, reduce errors, improve reporting, minimize risk, and manage cash flow by integrating credit card processing with your POS system. Use the built-in capabilities of your POS software for the lowest merchant services fees. If you do not have to use third-party software you can save money. POS systems are only certified on certain payment platforms; not every merchant account will work. First you need to find out which platforms are supported by your POS system then you need to find a merchant account that uses the platform. It can be confusing; especially if you have to figure out which methods are PCI compliant and which are not. That’s why you need an experienced payment consultant on your side to help. You need a payment consultant that works for you; not the processor.

Get Rid of Merchant Account Fees – Put in an ATM

June 27, 2018April 10, 2011 by G Jason Schnellbacher

Wish you could find a way to get rid of merchant account fees? Those credit card processing fees add up and can get expensive. You are not alone. Many merchants are searching for ways to reduce merchant services fees. Some small drinking establishments and wedding reception venues have found a solution; put in an ATM and only accept cash. Shift those merchant account fees to the customer and charge a surcharge at the ATM. Instead of paying the fee, collect the fee. People want the convenience of getting cash at the time and place they need it. If you have a place that needs an ATM, we can help.

Regardless of whether you call it a neighborhood pub, the corner tavern, or the hole-in-the-wall bar these are great places for ATMs. ATMs are also good for convenience stores, smoke shops, and cash advance locations.

What is EMV Chip-and-PIN?

August 16, 2022April 7, 2011 by G Jason Schnellbacher

Due to problems with “skimming” fraud, magnetic stripe bank cards are becoming a payment method of the past in most places around the world except America but that is soon to change. EMV, which stands for Europay, MasterCard and VISA, is a global standard for chip-and-PIN electronic payments. Insteading of paying with the old school mag-stripe credit card, soon mobile phones that have near field communications (NFC) chips will bring EMV chip-and-PIN payment technology to America.
