Process Credit
Cards Inside Point of Success
Point of
Success offers two options for
built-in credit card processing.
No more terminals!
Credit card sales
are easier when your POS system has
built-in credit card support. When you
process credit cards in Point of
Success, every computer on your
network can be a credit card terminal.
Choose the best
option for your restaurant:
- Open a merchant account through Mercury
Payment Systems, the
preferred credit card processor
for Point of Success
- Continue with your current
credit card processor by using PCCharge
Payment Server software with
Point of Success PCCharge
Connector software
No matter which
method you choose, credit card
processing in Point of Success offers
these advantages:
- Swipe a credit card when the
card is present or key the account
number for phone orders
- Require the last four digits of
the credit card number to be keyed
to reduce exposure to counterfeit
cards
- Verify cardholder address and
validate card ID numbers to reduce
fraudulent transactions and
charge-backs
- Preauthorize charges, then
include tips in a follow-up
transaction
- Use one point of communication
(one computer runs the credit card
server) for all credit card
transactions in the system
- Use safe, encrypted Internet
communication (with Mercury
Payment Systems and PCCharge
Payment Server) or standard
telephone dial-up authorization
(with PCCharge Payment Server
only)

Processing Using
PCCharge Payment Server
Using PCCharge
Payment Server, merchants can, in
most cases, stay with their current
credit card processor. See the PCCharge
web site for details on this
software.
Important:
Before purchasing PCCharge Payment
Server and the Point of Success
PCCharge Connector, contact your
credit card processor to confirm that
they support restaurant credit card
processing with tips for your merchant
account. Some processors will place
credit card terminals in restaurant
businesses that connect with
processing locations that do not
process tips normally. You should also
check the PCCharge certified
credit card processors list for
this same information. If your
processor does not support restaurant
businesses with tips or if your
merchant account is not set up for
tips, you will not be paid for tips on
credit card orders when using PCCharge
Payment Server.
The following are
required for processing with PCCharge
Payment Server:
- Purchase PCCharge Payment Server
software through your Point of
Success dealer or other source (PCCharge
Payment Server is required,
other versions of PCCharge are not
supported)
- Purchase Point of Success PCCharge
Connector software
Credit card
processing in Point of Success
requires a magnetic stripe reader on
each computer. See the System
Requirements page for details.
