Mercury Payment Systems
Mercury Payment Systems is the easy and affordable way to get
fast 2-3 second transaction processing and real-time web reporting.
Traditional Dial-Up Processing: Merchants can process through
Mercury Payment Systems by using a Datacap DataTran configured
for Global Payment's East (NDC) platform. Mercury Payment Systems
also works with terminals from Verifone, Hypercom and Nurit (and
many others as well).
IP Processing Always On Dial-Up Connection: Merchants can use
a router and
modem combination to create a reliable dial-up connection in lieu
of a
broadband connection. This option still provides fast processing
(4-5 seconds)
and real-time web reporting. It also has the advantage of permitting
multiple credit card transactions simultaneously (a Datatran is
not used).
IP Processing Always On Broadband Connection: The ideal scenario
is where
the merchant can obtain a broadband connection (DSL, cable, etc.).
This option is a little bit faster (2-3 second processing).
How MercuryPay Works
Mercury Payment Systems' MercuryPay is co-developed with our Strategic
Partner Datacap Systems, Inc. The MercuryPay system is a client-server
payment processing application that moves transaction information
from the client to server in encrypted tcp/ip packets. On the
client side is an activeX component that is integrated into the
Point of Sale program. This component works with the MercuryPay
server, standalone NetEpay servers, as well as Datacap's System's
Datatran dial-up processing machine. From Mercury's servers they
are sent over a point-to-point connection to Global Payments Inc.
The FDIC insured funds are then securely and rapidly transferred
by HSBC Bank to the merchant's account at the bank of their choice.
The full card numbers are never stored on Mercury's servers (only
in the processing host).

MercuryPay Server Configuration
Mercury Payment Systems maintains multiple servers for redundancy
and
load balancing. These servers are located in different regions of
the
country to maintain independent operations even if a whole region
is
experiencing telecommunications difficulties. Each MercuryPay server
is
directly connected to the processing host.
Each server has a DNS name - the client component is configured
with a
list of these names. In the event that the primary MercuryPay server
name is unresponsive during an attempted transaction, the client
component
will use the alternate server.
