LinkPoint Secure Payment Gateway is for start-up merchants who want to get online fast, as well as for merchants who already have a Web site and want a secure, fast and reliable e-commerce payment solution. The LinkPoint Secure Payment Gateway translates information from a merchant's Web site into a format that can be read by an electronic processing system to process transactions online.
E-commerce means new opportunities and responsibilities for merchants. The LinkPoint Secure Payment Gateway offers merchants the protection of 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption, as well as state-of-the-art fraud-protection features, including:
TeleCharge offers simple and very cost-effective access to credit card processing by providing point-of-sale processing for small office, mobile services, home-based businesses and direct marketing businesses.
* TeleCharge merchants complete a sales receipt, manually imprint the credit card slip and process a charge against the customer's bankcard through the toll-free telephone authorization line. Ignite Payments then deposits the funds directly into the merchant's checking account. Although a manual imprint is not required, merchants should keep an imprinted sales receipt for their records.
* Designed specifically for small and home-based businesses, network marketers, and sales personnel, TeleCharge offers these important benefits:
Interactive voice response allows merchants access to their deposit history, order merchant statements, and it connects them to the voice authorization center. This system also allows merchants to request that their reports get faxed or mailed.
Ignite Payments addresses the key issues of both traditional and Internet merchants, including fraud, loss prevention and chargebacks.
* The company's state-of-the-art security measures-including its LinkPoint Secure Payment Gateway, which uses encryption and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology-protect all merchant and payment information.
* These security measures, including Address Verification Service (AVS), can be customized for any size business. The company performs numerous fraud checks to determine common patterns, while allowing merchants to lock out specific credit card numbers and Internet protocol (IP) addresses. Merchants can also create a negative file of high-risk consumers and/or card numbers.
State-of-the-art online payment gateways, such as the LinkPoint Secure Payment Gateway, enable merchants to process transactions securely over the Internet, which merchants need to access today's extensive global e-commerce marketplace.

* Fraud-prevention services and features, such as Address Verification Service (AVS), help verify street numbers before the merchandise is shipped. CVC2 (MasterCard®) and CVV2 (Visa®) are new card verification and validation methods designed to minimize Internet and mail order/telephone order fraud. These methods allow greater security when merchants process transactions where the customer's credit card is not present, and they are some of the security measures available that can help you prevent fraudulent credit card purchases and save your business money.
