Credit Cards

High-Speed Electronic Payment Processing.
Fast, reliable, secure.

CPGateway is a service provided by Radiant that enhances credit card processing for CounterPoint merchants.

CPGateway returns card authorizations from your processor in less than 2 seconds. Using the Internet instead of dialing out for each authorization, CPGateway is much faster and more reliable than dial-up communications , and provides your customers with the convenience they deserve.. CPGateway works with both CounterPoint SQL and CounterPoint V7 software as well as CPOnline.

CPGateway offers a number of features and benefits including:

· Credit card, debit card, and check authorizations via the Internet
· Fast authorization response times—typically 2 seconds
· Faster settlement times
· CISP Compliance
· Ease of use
· One Internet connection serves multiple workstations
· Automatic fallback to dial-up
· Reliability
· Security

CPGateway greatly enhances the customer experience, has economical fees, and is enabled with a simple setup process.


	Keep Your Customers Moving with 2-Second Authorizations with CPGateway!


	Simply choose Credit Card as the payment type, swipe the card and the transaction is done before you can say “Thank You!”

Details:

To authorize a charge, simply record the sale in CounterPoint in the normal way, obtaining the credit card information using a magstripe card reader (or by entering the card information manually).

CounterPoint then connects to CPGateway through the Internet using TCP/IP protocol and requests the authorization. CPGateway maintains a high-speed connection to your card processor and quickly obtains the authorization and passes it back to CounterPoint. Your CounterPoint system is continuously connected to CPGateway via the Internet, and CPGateway stays connected with your processor, so you avoid the delays associated with dial-up service and modems—and typically obtain authorizations in 2 seconds1.

Use CounterPoint's existing settlement functions to settle a batch via CPGateway. This will settle transactions authorized via CPGateway as well as any transactions authorized using dial-up. Settling via CPGateway is faster than settling via dial-up.

Merchant Relationship:

You must establish a merchant relationship for card processing. We recommend taking advantage of the CounterPoint Merchant Program (CMP).

Reduced CPGateway fees are available for CMP merchants. No additional software purchase is necessary for CMP merchants.

Non-CMP merchants require the Credit Cards Option. If you do not wish to process under CMP, you may establish a merchant relationship with any processor who can work through First Data North, First Data South, TSYS, or Paymentech.

Reliability:

We understand the importance of absolutely reliable credit card processing. CPGateway is designed to stay in operation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Maximum reliability is built into CPGateway—redundant (duplicate) servers, redundant Internet connections from your CounterPoint system to CPGateway, redundant communication lines to the card processors, redundant power systems, etc.

If your local Internet service fails (your ISP or communication lines go down), CounterPoint will automatically switch to dial-up mode and call your card processor directly. And CounterPoint V7 will automatically use the Modem Server Option, if it is active.

All authorizations obtained from your processor, whether through CPGateway or via direct dial-up, are identical and can be settled in the same batch.

CounterPoint and CPGateway are designed to ensure that you will keep authorizing and settling credit cards—no matter what.
