Hello,
Since it's my first post, I'd like to introduce myself - my name is Krzysztof Rygielski and I'm a software developer (obviously). I'm currently attempting to develop a solution for my client, which would involve having credit cards terminals in multiple stores/places/you call it. Whenever transaction would be initiated or it's status would change, we would need our app to be notified about that, in order to proceed with certain after transaction operations.
As much as I went through the docs, I was able to deduce that Express Interface API would be the way to go, with use of Hosted Payments - please correct me if I'm wrong. Although it's not entirely clear for me if having a, for example, Ingenico payment terminal configured to work with vantiv backend processing would be enough. Would I still require any additional tools, hardware (for example, for Hosted Payments Window option) in order to work with that?
I apologize if this was talked about somewhere before or if I missed a certain piece of docs. If so, could anyone please direct me to place in docs (or in the community forum), where I would be able to figure it out in more detail? I'm simply trying to find the best and most convenient solution - so far Vantiv seems to be able to provide one, but I'd still need a bit of help.
Thanks in advance!
Hi Krzysztof,
The Express API is the perfect spot to look. This is one of our main interfaces that supports card present and card not present transactions. Although, as times change we've evolved our products to help reduce the level work to integrate and validate payment solutions with payment middle, such as hosted payments and triPOS that all connect to Express.
triPOS is your ideal solution for card present processing, it is capable of managing PIN pad interaction, can be deployed via triPOS Mobile - Getting Started, triPOS Direct - Install Requirements client and triPOS Cloud - Overview. Additionally, your merchants will have the added benefit of EMV acceptance and point to point encryption and tokenization for security.
Hosted Payments is best suited for card not present environments or merchants wanting to accept credit only transactions (swiped or keyed). It also offers a UI/UX for safely processing payments to Vantiv, removing your solution from managing this sensitive data.
We have a team dedicated to assisting you both during the solutioning stages and the development stages. Generally, first steps are to setup a "kickoff" call, so that we can better understand your business and solution needs to match you up with the best product. If you would like start this process can you please contact us here... Contact Us and we have a developer integration consultant reach out.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Regards,
Chris
