Payment Processing Gateway and Virtual Terminal

Technology behind Merchant Account Processing is quickly evolving, and Premier is at the forefront of the evolution. Advanced PC Based Solutions that can be accessed from the Merchants personal computer (PC) provide secure, robust transaction processing capabilities.

Our goal is to simplify and streamline payment solutions for our Merchants. These PC based payment applications are referred to as a Payment Gateway or Virtual Terminal. A Payment Gateway/Virtual Terminal offers several advantages to the stand-alone unit, for Merchants who key enter or swipe their transactions.

What is the difference between a Virtual Terminal and a Payment Gateway?


Payment Gateway
Virtual Terminal
Typically refers to a Payment Application that is integrated with a shopping cart, or checkout page, on a Merchants Internet Storefront.

The Payment Gateway receives and encrypts cardholder data from the secure checkout on the Merchants website. The Payment Gateway transmits the data securely to the Authorization Network for an approval or decline response.
Typically refers to a PC Based Payment Application hosted on the provider's servers and accessible by a Merchant via a secure, remote login for transaction processing. Merchants can access their Virtual Terminal from any PC with a secure Internet Connection to process transactions and view transaction activity.

The PPS Payment Gateway is both a Virtual Terminal and Payment Gateway, all-in-one.

Merchants access our advanced online payment application and instantly have both Virtual Terminal and Payment Gateway functionality (from a single interface).

Premier's Payment Gateway and Virtual Terminal - referred to collectively as the PPS Payment Gateway - provides Merchants with both options through a single Payment Application. The Virtual Terminal can be used solely as a Virtual Terminal or can be integrated with a Merchant's online storefront. Some programs require additional activation for either the Virtual Terminal or Payment Gateway option and price each program independently. For the same low monthly cost, Merchants have many options!

Payment Processing Gateways are a secure, robust solution for Internet, Ecommerce Merchants, Key-Enter Merchants and Retail Merchants too!

Testimonials

"Premier Payment Systems has been our credit card processing company for a few years and we have been very pleased with the continual cost savings and attentive service we receive. 

We are thrilled with their new Pennies for Care Program that supports the children who are medically fragile that stay at Almost Home Kids, a nonprofit organization in Naperville.  Over 78% of the families that are served at AHK live at or below the poverty level. We depend on generous people, like those at Premier, to help us to provide the community support to our families to ensure they can continue to care for their children when they have arrived home.

 I hope you will find being part of the PPS family as rewarding as I have." - Deborah Grisko, President & CEO, Almost Home Kids
