GlacierPay Gateway is a Virtual Terminal that allows merchants to process transactions anywhere in the world from web-enabled devices. The Virtual Terminal supports various payment methods including ACH, credit, and debit cards.
Unique Features of the Virtual Terminal:
- ● Real time form field validation - Helps eliminate key-entry errors by highlighting invalid fields and providing positive reinforcement for valid entries.
- ● Ability to use encrypted card readers - Secure card readers allow merchants to accept card present transactions. This lowers the risk of fraud and allows merchants to receive discounted rates.
- ● Check scanning devices - Check scanners provide a fast and efficient way for merchants to process multiple checks and avoid costly mistakes associated with typographical errors.
- ● Customer Tokenization - While using the GlacierPay Gateway, merchants may elect to save sensitive customer data in the Customer Vault for future billing purposes.
Customer Vault
The Customer Vault was designed specifically for businesses of any size to address security concerns about handling customer payment information. Visa and MasterCard have instituted the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard to protect cardholder data–wherever it resides–ensuring that members, merchants, and service providers maintain the highest information security standard.
These associations have also deemed that merchants will be held liable for any breach of cardholder data. This has become a major concern for merchants who may handle credit card or electronic check payments, but are looking to avoid the tremendous costs and resources involved in becoming PCI compliant. The Customer Vault allows merchants to transmit their payment information through a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection for storage in our Level 1 PCI certified data facilities. Once the customer record has been securely transmitted to the Customer Vault, the merchant can then initiate transactions remotely without having to access cardholder information directly. This process is accomplished without the merchant storing the customer's payment information in their local database or payment application. Furthermore, using the GlacierPay Browser Redirect Method in conjunction with the Customer Vault allows merchants to process transactions without transmitting any payment information through their web application. This unique approach provides application flexibility without any PCI compliance concerns. The GlacierPay Redirect API (Advanced Programmers Interface) is available by request of the project manager. We are pleased to work with a variety of shopping cart providers and are constantly integrating new shopping carts to accommodate demand. Below is a list of the most common shopping carts we work with. The list is not inclusive, so please contact support for further inquiries.
Security
CertifyPCI™ is an in-house automated web-based tool that provides an easy way for merchants to satisfy their Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance requirements. According to the PCI Security Council, merchants and agents are required to adhere to strict PCI Data Security Standards (DSS) or risk losing their ability to process transactions.
Recurring Billing
Recurring billing allows merchants to charge customers via multiple payment methods including credit card, debit card or electronic check on regular intervals through saved billing schedules.
The payment gateway has two distinct Recurring methodologies: Subscription Based Recurring Model - Merchants set a unique billing schedule for each customer. For example, a merchant may establish a billing cycle for Customer A of $20 on the 15th of every month and Customer B of $50 on the 1st of every month. Plan Based Recurring Model - Merchants establish pre-defined billing plans and link customer(s) to the specific plan. For example, a merchant may offer a variety of services at different price points. An important benefit to the Plan Based Model occurs when the merchant updates a plan - a single change affects many customers all at once, instead of updating each customer subscription individually.
