Offline Payment Processing | Credit Card Processing

Credit and Debit card processing has become a popular method of payment, even more so over the last 10 years with the boom of online purchasing. As a business owner or potential business owner you probably have thought about the importance for a check out process that accommodates all major payment options.

Every point of sale (POS) software solution has accommodated all major payment options, however, we have noticed that the availability of these features is not enough.

Let me ask you this, how many times has your point of sale terminal(s) gone offline, and to make it worse, it goes offline during your busiest time of the day? Since POS is an automated system that relies on Internet connection, there are always issues that can emerge that will cause disruptions in payment transactions during the work day.

Due to the overflow of POS users that have been faced with terminals going offline during business hours, Café Cartel Systems (CCS) has come up with options to keep transactions going seamlessly during the day without interruptions.

Now you may be asking, “what payment features does Café Cartel System’s offer?”

Great question! Our best-selling option is the Altera 3400S, this system comes with a built in credit/ debit card reader. The CSS POS software comes with a couple features that provide debit and credit card processing solution when our terminals go offline.

911 Processing

This option saves credit or debit card transactions when terminals go offline. The saved transactions will process as soon as your terminal comes back online. This benefits you because you won’t run into a situation where you have to turn away card holder customers simply because the Internet is down.

DataCap Phone Line Processing

This feature is the most popular with customers because it allows you to stay online for payment processing. This option transfers to DSL Internet connection, which is over the phone lines, when Ethernet is disrupted. It is a simple connection and will not interfere with phone lines unless your main Internet connection goes offline. This process is great because you will never run into processing payments with cards that are not valid or do not have sufficient funds. During the set up process, a CCS tech support rep will talk you through how to secure this option.
