Customer Payment Solutions Vermont Systems Inc.
Customer Payment Solutions (CPS) Allows you to process credit card/debit card transactions with the VeriFone MX830 PinPad, using the Vermont Systems, Inc. Electronic Redirect Interface (ERI) option. ERI allows your users to swipe credit cards at the point-of-sale workstations, while storing no credit card information, other than the card mask (first 6 & last 4 digits) in the VSI database. No card entry is performed on the screen of a VSI application. All card data is entered on a PCI-DSS certified (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) VeriFone MX830 and then passed directly to the processor via PAYWare.
