IT'S YOUR CARD

GIFT CARD REMINDER

Have your customers considered adding a gift card solution to their business? Are you already certified with It's Your Card®? Certification with It's Your Card allows you and your merchants to take advantage of third party gift card providers, including Nova, Paymentech and Datamark, with no additional certification required.

Shift4 continues to add certified interfaces to third party gift card providers on a monthly basis to expand our robust gift card solution. This certification process allows all POS systems to automatically link merchants with all available processors without continuous re-certification.

Full certification with $ $ $ ON THE NET® not only allows your customers universal access to the top gift card providers, but they can also take advantage of these features as well:

  1. Complete access to all third party devices, including PIN pads, signature capture and wireless terminals
  2. Dynamic Currency Conversion functionality, allowing merchants to earn a percentage of every foreign cardholder transaction while providing improved customer service for foreign patrons
  3. S4 LogoHTML invoices to provide merchants with an electronic copy of the full invoice to reduce charge backs
  4. Tokenization to help merchants securely store credit card data while assisting them with their PCI DSS certification and you with your Payment Application Best Practices (PABP) validation

If you don't have a full certification with $ $ $ ON THE NET and would like to add any of these features, contact apisupport@shift4.com .

STOP!

ACCESS DENIED

With recent security breeches at some of today's top merchants, it's important to realize your customers are held directly accountable for compromised data. This means their business is at great risk and Shift4 is here to help by offering a variety of security features.

For one, did you know that $ $ $ ON THE NET provides the ability to deny system access by locking website IP Addresses? For those companies who provide multiple login access to their employees, including access from their home, $ $ $ ON THE NET functionality offers full access control to prevent unwanted entry.

Secondly, data transmissions via $ $ $ ON THE NET are secured by our proprietary patent pending encryption technology, Derived Unique Key Per Transaction with Moving Target Encryption™ (DUKPT w/MTE). By randomly cycling encryption methods between transaction packets, your customers' financial data is protected from the most determined hacker. Shift4 uses DUKPT w/MTE because it is much faster and more secure than SSL3 and it is even more secure than that used in the U.S. ATM network.

Finally, while there can be no assurances that point-of-sale (POS) and property management systems (PMS) are invulnerable to unauthorized access or “hacking”. Because Tokenization eliminates the need to store card numbers, it increases security and eliminates risk by rendering compromised data useless. If the system was ever compromised, a Token represents nothing in the hands of a criminal. Whether it's through Tokenization, or the many $ $ $ ON THE NET security tools, Shift4 is committed to developing innovative and secure solutions that eliminates criminal activity.
