PCAuthorize® for Windows®

MasterCard, Visa, Discover, American Express, Credit Cards

PC Authorize for Windows Ideal for card-present retail, mail and telephone order and recurring payment merchants. The PCAuthorize software is a stand-alone application that integrates credit card authorization and electronic settlement into your sales system. Using a personal computer (PC) or PC-based electronic cash register (ECR), PCAuthorize software processes all major credit card types.

The PCAuthorize*Hub Product (Multi-User Networked Version) can serve multiple users over a network, or it can be integrated into point-of-sale or order-entry applications for back-end payment processing. This product can eliminate all your credit terminals by integrating and centralizing your credit authorization needs. The PCAuthorize*Hub product can service an entire network of personal computers (PCs) from a central point using one modem to communicate with the bank networks.

A client application is also provided with this product. The PCAuthorize*Client component runs on the workstations and provides a complete turnkey authorization system. The Client can operate more than just a 'satellite' terminal. With proper authority, it can have full access to all the data in the system at any time. Any Microsoft® Windows® application on your network capable of supporting DDE, Windows Sockets, or Named Pipes can also potentially act as a 'client'. All Windows Sockets compatible networks, including TCP/IP and other open protocols are supported, making networking with the PCAuthorize*Hub application a platform-independent endeavor.

Single User Version: Purchase: $135 / Lease To Own: $8.50/mo. for 24 months
