For example, if merchant does a pre-authorization, and captures at a later date, certain rules need to be met to avoid higher non-qualified interchange rates.<\/li>\n<li>24\/7 payment options for customers to serve multi-time zone and increase security<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1>EMV Terminals for B2B.<\/h1>\n<p>There are no desktop or countertop terminals that support level III processing, and that won&#8217;t change. These terminals are programmed with the acquirer instructions via download, and less frequently, may be connected to Point of Sale (POS) software.<\/p>\n<p>To meet the minimum B2B requirements, a <strong>payment gateway<\/strong> is required. Merchants process transactions by accessing a <strong>virtual terminal<\/strong> via a secure web page, or with an integrated software solution. The gateway must certify level III processing for each card brand, and EMV, and the specific terminal, for each acquirer.<\/p>\n<p>For example, CenPOS has certified the Verifone MX915 to TSYS, with P2P encryption, level III processing. Most acquirers and banks support TSYS as a way to connect to their platfor; for example, First Data, Chase Paymentech, and Bank of America Merchant Services. To date, no other gateway has certified level 3 processing for retail and EMV. The difference for distributors is huge; it&#8217;s not uncommon to reduce merchant fees an average of 30%.<\/p>\n<h1>Pending Certifications<\/h1>\n<p>Exercise caution on claims of pending certifications, if the solutions provider:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Doesn&#8217;t have any certifications to date, after a year or more to prepare.<\/li>\n<li>Has never had level III processing for retail certification<\/li>\n<li>Does not offer a way to automate interchange management in a mixed retail &amp; card not present environment, or for card not present only<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s the best EMV payment technology for business to business (B2B) merchants?
