3 The Mercury Difference Mercury was the first to build our payment processing technology, for free, into point-of-sale systems. Our direct, integrated platform adds competitive value resellers use to position their systems in the marketplace. By delivering faster, more reliable payment processing solutions as part of the POS system, resellers improve service to merchants and eliminate third party software costs and support issues. Our full suite of payment processing solutions helps our reseller partners meet the needs of any merchant. Combined with unlimited free MercuryGift card processing, real-time MercuryView transaction reporting, 24/7 MercuryLive customer and technical support and many other built-in extras, our technology and services support the business goals of our partners. The Mercury difference is available to merchants only through our reseller partners. We have no direct sales team. We rely solely on the endorsements of our reseller partners. That s why we ve developed the most robust partner program in the industry.
