- Turns any PC into a virtual payment solution in both in-person and mail order/ telephone order (MO/TO) environments.
- Integrates “Buy Button” functionality easily and affordably with your shopping cart to securely process e-commerce transactions.
- Allows for face-to-face retail integration through 3rd party software.
- Processes a full array of payment types – credit, PIN-based debit, electronic benefits transfer (EBT), electronic check, and gift card.
- Supports dynamic currency conversion (DCC) in both physical and e-commerce environments enabling customers to make purchases in U.S. dollars, or their home currency, and providing your business a new source of revenue.
- Supports real-time processing and also features a highly efficient multiple-entry mode for key entering a series of non-real-time transactions.
- Accommodates up to 5,000 users and Merchant IDs and easily scales over time, making Virtual Merchant ideal for all business sizes and any number of locations.

- Relies on a familiar browser-based interface, making screens very easy to navigate. Offers instant assistance when needed using screen-sensitive “help”.
