Automated credit card payment systems Lichfield
Card payments by telephone
Do you take payment from customers over the telephone by credit or debit card, or would you like your Lichfield-based business to be able to do so?
Many businesses take credit or debit card details over the telephone by asking the customer to read out their credit or debit card details.
Higher standards of security
Tightening standards for PCI DSS compliance mean it will no longer be possible to take card payments over the telephone with the cardholder reading out their card details, regardless of whether you enter the credit or debit card details into a card machine or payment web site.
The card payment industry is expected to tighten security in response to the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) becoming enforceable from .
The problem for your business
This restriction creates a problem for small businesses needing to take card payments by telephone but without the resources to invest in a full-scale secure telephone-based credit and debit card payment system. It also creates an opportunity for you to get ahead of your competitors and introduce a secure automated payment system ahead of the rule changes.
As well as enabling you to take credit and debit card payments at your business premises, this is the ideal solution for taking credit and debit card payments at exhibitions.
Card payment systems for small businesses
The card payment system we offer is telephone-based and specially created for small and medium-sized businesses. It can be bespoke to your business at a very reasonable cost. Your customers will hear prompts personalised to your business guiding them through making their payment.
The payment system will take payments from your customers all day and night every day of the year without anyone ever having to read out their card details, which gives vastly-increased security over manual payment methods and at the same time allowing to take payments even while your business is closed. It is ideal for use both at your place of business and at exhibitions.
The payment system complies with PCI DSS level 1 security standards, providing you with an effortless way of complying with the new standards combined with the ability to take credit and debit card payments 24/7. It can be aligned with your existing in-house systems, including your existing merchant accounts and comes with a full report package.
PCI DSS compliance
By taking all your card payments using this credit card payment system instead of having a credit card machine of your own, you avoid the need to be PCI DSS compliant yourself, which means you avoid the need to complete the annual PCI DSS compliance paperwork.
Even if you don't specifically need to take credit card payments over the telephone, this payment service offers the advantage of being fully PCI DSS level 1 compliant, removing the need for your business to comply with PCI DSS at all.
