Processing Payments Securely Online Involves a Few Key Players

If you are going to do business online, secure payment processing is a must. We just completed a three part series posted on the ERP Software Blog about payment gateways, obtaining PCI Compliance and encryption methods.

In part one, the key players of secure payment processing online are discussed. These include the merchant, the cardholder and payment gateways. Different merchant levels are also provided in details. Then in part two of the series, obtaining PCI Compliance is the focus. There are 12 steps in this process that are separated into six categories: build and maintain a secure network, protect cardholder data, maintain a vulnerability management program, implement strong access control measures, regularly monitor and test networks and maintain an information security policy. These were taken directly from the PCI DSS website. How to get started on these steps is also highlighted in part two of the series. And finally, part three details the two ways to handle sensitive data securely: tokenization and encryption. Encryption has been around for years and while tokenization is a newer technology, when it comes to secure payment processing, it is the clear winner.

Google Checkout Will No Longer Be an Option for Payment Processing This November

Google Checkout, an online payment processing service, will be discontinued November 20, 2013 Google announced at the end of May this year. This service, which acted as an alternative to PayPal, will be integrated with Google Wallet, a tool that allows shoppers to store credit and debit card information, loyalty cards and more using their Google account. This service additionally provides fraud protection as well as purchase history and status.

Merchants who currently use Google Checkout will be able to continue doing so until November 20, 2013. At that point, however, if the merchant does not have their own payment processing solution, a new option will need to be implemented. In an attempt to make this process easier for merchants, Google has partnered with several solutions, none of which are free. These options include Braintree, Freshbooks and Shopify. Google has described these as “discounted migration options.”

On the other hand, U.S. merchants that have other payment processing solutions will be able to take advantage of Google Wallet, which Google has been working to improve. Google added two new features to Google Wallet, which were also announced in May 2013. These new features are Wallet Objects API and Instant Buy API. Wallet Objects API is the feature that allows users to store their loyalty card information, take advantage of promos and more. The second addition, Instant Buy API, is a feature that makes the checkout process easier for customers. Those shopping with an Android device who also use Google Wallet will be able to make purchases with just a few clicks since the app saves their billing, shipping and card information. This feature can be offered to customers by merchants that sell a physical good or service.

If you are using Microsoft Dynamics GP accounting software and need a payment processing solution, explore Azox Credit Card Extension. This product allows you to process both ACH and credit card payments securely while integrating with Dynamics GP.

Big Fireworks Ecommerce Website Built on Dynamics GP is User-Friendly, Navigable and Includes Streamlined Payment Processing

Streamlined Payment Processing

The most recent deployment from Azox is both a business facing and customer facing ecommerce website built on Dynamics GP for BigFireworks. Big Fireworks uses these ecommerce sites to sell fireworks to both consumers and distributors. The different types of fireworks available include aerial assortment packs, firecrackers, fountains, roman candles, three inch finale repeaters and more.

Big Fireworks needed a website that would allow potential customers to navigate their broad product portfolio, make purchases smoothly and securely and would have an overall positive impact in order to promote repeat business.

Navigability

From the homepage, shoppers are provided with a left side menu that separates the various fireworks alphabetically by type. From here, a consumer or distributor can select the type of firework they are interested in, for example bottle rockets. This will take them to a new screen where all variations of bottle rocks are displayed with more in depth product information, such as price and stock availability. These products can further be sorted by price, number or name to help customers find what they are looking for. From here, the customer can choose to add any quantity of the desired firework to their cart by entering a custom number in a box provided. Some fireworks feature video demos as well.

Secure Payment Processing

On the homepage, Big Fireworks provides a minimum that consumers and distributors must reach for making an order in their ecommerce store. Once the order minimum has been added to a shoppers’ cart, they can click “checkout” and begin the process of making a purchase. Return customers can login to retrieve their saved data, such as shipping address, or new customers can create an account. Several types of payments are accepted include ACH and credit cards. Payments are processed securely and sensitive data is stored off site.

A Lasting Impact

Big Fireworks has an ecommerce website that is easy to browse. There are video demos and product reviews for consumers to view prior to making a purchase decision and several payment types are accepted to make the checkout process smooth. These features provide a positive experience for customers. It is also easy to find Big Fireworks on social media for further company research by following the links provided on their website.

Big Fireworks is one of many full ecommerce solutions built on Dynamics GP developed by Azox. Learn more about Azox ecommerce and secure ACH/credit card processing software for Dynamics GP by visiting our website.

The Latest Ecommerce Websites from Azox Built on Microsoft Dynamics GP

Azox has recently completed new ecommerce sites built on Microsoft Dynamics GP for two different customers, Panama Jack and Pakedge.

The ecommerce websites developed for Panama Jack include a business-to-business site and a business-to-consumer site with a mobile friendly version. Panama Jack sells sun care products including sunglasses, hats, casual apparel for men and women, shoes, bags and totes, beach chairs and umbrellas along with bikes and skateboards. The company also sells indoor and outdoor furniture and décor. For their web store, Panama Jack elected to use several add-on features of our ecommerce solution to make browsing easy for users and also to cross sell products. These features include dimension group and related products. Dimension group is a feature that allows similar items to be grouped together based on defined characteristics, such as size, color, brand or manufacturer. This makes it easier to present a large number of SKUs. The other feature, related products, displays items similar to the product currently being viewed as a suggestion to users. This encourages them to dig deeper into a web store and possibly make additional purchases. Panama Jack also uses Azox Credit Card Extension for secure ACH/credit card processing in Microsoft Dynamics GP and an array of other features.

The second ecommerce website built on Microsoft Dynamics GP was developed for Pakedge. This company opted for a business-to-business web store for distributors that also has a mobile version of the site. Pakedge sells devices and software to distributors, including switches, routers, IP power and related accessories. Pakedge also opted for the related products features along with one page guest checkout, RMA return, promo pricing and shipping rate calculator. These features of Pakedge’s web store provide distributors with a secure environment that makes ordering and reordering products a streamlined process. Pakedge also uses Azox Online Bill Pay to allow distributors to make payments on invoices via a portal as well as Azox Credit Card Extension for secure ACH/credit card processing in Microsoft Dynamics GP.

Azox ecommerce websites are easy to update using our built in CMS with WYSIWYG editor. They also offer advanced filter and sort capabilities on product search results pages in addition to many other features. You can obtain a complete ecommerce solution when you choose eSource paired with Azox Credit Card Extension and Online Bill Pay.

The Role of Gateways with Payment Processing in Dynamics GP

You have your ecommerce site setup and ready to go. Traffic is good and users want to make purchases. Now the question is do you have a solution for payment processing within Dynamics GP? And, if you do, are you confident in its security levels?

If you are using Azox Credit Card Extension on your website, when an order is placed in your web store, it is sent into the payment solution, which integrates with your Microsoft Dynamics GP back office software. From there, the credit card or bank account data is sent to a payment gateway, then to a bank payment processor, followed by the customer’s bank account and ends up at the merchant bank account. From here, it turns around and heads back to where it started. So, from the merchant’s bank account on to the customer’s bank account, then to a bank payment processor and finally back to the payment gateway again. In the end, it makes it back in your system with a notification of whether or not the payment was approved. Simple enough, right?

With payment processing, security of the cardholder’s data is a big part of this process, which is why payment gateways are a great solution. There are many gateways to choose from. Admeris, Authorize.NET, Chase Paymentech, CyberSource, Global Payments, Moneris, Paymover and Verisign are all on the list, which includes several others. Choosing between them is just a matter of finding what best fits your business.

When a payment is made, the customer’s credit card or bank information is encrypted. Azox Credit Card Extension encrypts credit card data through a process called tokenization. Tokenization technology allows credit card and account numbers to be stored by a third party, which eliminates compliance liability concerns. The third party is the payment gateway. The encrypted information is sent to the payment gateway where it remains during payment processing.

The other thing to consider with ACH and credit card processing in Microsoft Dynamics GP is PCI compliance. To obtain PCI compliance, a payment solution must meet certain standards established by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council. This criterion has been established for security reasons and reduces fraud.

Azox Credit Card Extension is PA-DSS certified. This payment solution for Dynamics GP supports numerous payment gateways, uses tokenization technology and more. To take your ecommerce website to the next level, consider the addition of this payment solution. Contact the Azox sales team to schedule a demo. For more information on this topic, check out our latest post on the ERP Software Blog.
