First Data Independent Sales - Credit Card Processing

LinkPoint^® Central

LinkPoint^® Central (LPC) acts as a secure portal for merchants to manage everything related to transaction processing, from running secure transactions yourself to setting up your web site to run transactions for you, from preventing fraud to reviewing transaction reports to getting technical support and help. Everything is readily available right within LPC.

WHAT MERCHANTS CAN DO WITH LINKPOINT CENTRAL:

Process transactions anywhere you have Internet access

In LinkPoint Central, there is a virtual Point of Sale (POS) terminal that functions similarly to the terminals commonly used at retail stores. Merchants simply enter the data needed for the transaction and go. It can even automatically track and perform recurring transactions (for subscription services, for example). And because it runs via the Internet, you can log on anywhere with Internet access, giving you instant access to process orders from wherever you are.
Manage your LinkPoint accounts
LinkPoint Central allows merchants to manage everything from one place.
- View transaction reports anytime, anyplace, so you can see just how well your stores are doing.
- Change passwords, switch between live and test mode, set fraud settings, and view user agreements.
- Access all LinkPoint Connect management functions from LPC.
- Get Support.
- Customize the entire LinkPoint Central experience. Merchants can customize the e-mail receipts that are sent for every transaction. You can make the virtual POS terminal into a simple retail swipe terminal, a mail-order/telephone-order system, a recurring transaction processor, or your own custom terminal. Merchants even have the capability to choose their own custom colors and graphics for their LinkPoint Central and LinkPoint Connect screens.
- You can co-brand LPC pages, painting it with your own corporate look and feel.
Make sales from your Websites (using LinkPoint Connect)

LinkPoint Central is also a portal for LinkPoint Connect administrative functions. LinkPoint Connect allows merchants to post transactions from your web sites using a simple HTML form. We collect the sensitive information on our secure server and return the customer to the merchant's web site. Merchants can use the friendly LinkPoint Central interface to manage all aspects of your LinkPoint Connect accounts.

LinkPoint also offers a full suite of e-commerce solutions that let merchant Web developers use the technology they're comfortable with.

LINKPOINT CENTRAL FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES:

FEATURE	ADVANTAGE
Fraud protection	Provides crucial preventive measures that allow merchants to block specific credit card numbers, Internet protocol (IP) or Class C addresses, customer names, or domain names.
Address Verification Service (AVS)	Helps merchants combat fraud by comparing the consumer's billing address with the address on file with the card-issuing bank. If the two match, merchants know there is a lower chance of fraud.
Online Reports and Account Management	Provides real-time management reports via the merchant's Web browser, including bar and pie charts with drill-down action to instantly see the data under the picture.
E-mail notification	Both merchants and customers are notified of pending order and transaction approvals via e-mail
Customized look and feel	Merchants can choose from several graphical themes--or replace the graphics and colors with their own logos and corporate colors.
Custom POS terminals	Merchants can choose which fields to display on their virtual POS terminal page. They can even set some fields as required (or optional) and assign default values.
Product catalog	Merchants can incorporate their own product catalog, with up to 200 items. This allows faster, more consistent order entry with reduced errors. Plus merchants can track product sales using the Item Sales Statistics report.
Multi-store reports	Merchants can view consolidated transaction reports for multiple stores with multiple users. Transaction reports show store number and user ID for each transaction.
Multiple users with access controls	Merchants can have multiple users, each with their own User ID and password. Each user has specific, merchant-defined permissions within the system. Transaction reports show user ID for easy auditing and tracking.
