FD300ti multi-merchant terminal

Thursday, May 19th, 2011

The First Data FD300 Ti terminal is the ideal solution for operations that want a a desktop terminal  to keep track of sales for separate businesses (as many as 99) that are housed at the same location. Its multi-merchant capability allows each owner to conveniently designate which business the sale is applied to at the time of the purchase. Each merchant receives an individualized statement listing only his own transactions in an easy-to-read format.

The pin-pad for pin debit is an optional add on. FD30 contactless pinpad provides convenience in busy high volume settings.  The FD10 is about half the price.  Since pin debit is nearly the same cost as signature debit at this writing, smaller service oriented merchants will want to weigh the cost benefit, since chargebacks tend to be infrequent in those industries. Additionally, the actual use of the pin pad tends to be low in multi-merchant settings, negating the potential benefits. Finally, with 2011 pending federal legislation, signature debit may eventually be the same cost as pin debit.

Is the FD100 PCI Compliant?

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

Yes, the FD100 meets PCI Compliance standards as of this writing. The FD100 is a desktop terminal with built in printer offered by First Data and resellers. The POS terminal delivers high quality transaction processing, and it provides a safe, secure Internet Protocol (IP)/dial-up platform.

This inquiry is probably a result of notices going to merchants about compliance issues with terminals. In many cases, the terminal is compliant, but the attached pinpad (PED) may not be.  See prior article on which pin pads are PCI Compliant.
