Some Interesting Tips

• Did you know – you can minimize your exposure to PCI-DSS compliance requirements by using a hosted payment application to process online transaction from your website? A hosted payment solution is simple to integrate, and provides a safe, secure, and efficient way to process credit card data. The sensitive transaction data is stored with your processor and not within your store environment, protecting your customers and minimizing your risk.

• Adding payments to your existing Web site, while maintaining the look and feel your site already has is easier than you think. By using the First Data Global Gateway Web Service API solution, which leverages XML/SOAP-based messaging technology, you can easily integrate the payments portion of your online shopping environment with the shopping carts, order management, accounting software or other applications you already have. By providing a seamless online shopping experience, your customers don’t have to leave your site to complete a purchase.

• Did you know - payment alternatives to debit and credit are expected to grow to 30% over the next 4 years? Giving customers multiple payment options such as PayPal, Google Checkout or eCheck, increases the likelihood that a customer will complete the purchase and not abandon their cart. Industry studies show that by adding more than two payment alternatives to your checkout can increase sales conversions by 14%.

• A payment gateway provides your website with simple acceptance of electronic payment transactions and leveraging the gateway’s online transaction administration tool enables you to manage your payment transactions more effectively. This tool should provide a Transaction Terminal for manual processing of orders taken over the phone or face to face. It should also provide access to extensive transaction reporting and administrative tools that manage your business the way you want.

• Online fraud is one of the biggest concerns that merchants have today, accounting for over $3.3 billion in lost revenue in 2009. Additionally, merchants reject, on average, about 2.4% of all orders due to the suspicion of fraud. How can you prevent these losses and potential good orders that are rejected (false-positives)? By leveraging a fraud scoring and management solution, you are able to identify fraudulent transactions, score them according to your business requirements, and track these scores over time to more effectively accept or reject order transactions to get the highest rate or return by minimizing losses and accepting more good transactions.
