Building your PowerSoftCart storefront is the foundation for selling online, but processing payments over the Internet is also an integral piece of the e-commerce puzzle.  Mercantec helps you to put it all together with the PowerPayment system.  We’ve partnered with industry leaders to provide you with a complete solution for getting paid online.

Setting up real-time online payment processing is probably the most complex (and often confusing) aspect of creating an e-commerce web site.    We’ve been helping customers to do this since the very first release of “Cybercash” in January of 1996, and PowerPayment removes the complexity and allows you to set-up sophisticated payment processing without all of the headaches.

Research shows that offering your customers more payment options at checkout times leads to a better “browser to buyer” conversion rate, which means more sales and more profits.  For this reason, PowerPayment lets you offer numerous payment options, including:

• Traditional credit cards/merchant accounts (Visa, MasterCard, Amercian Express, Discover, and more),
• PayPal,
• Purchase Orders,
• COD
• E-Checks (coming soon).

With PowerPayment, you can select a turnkey solution that provides you with everything you need to get started, or you can choose just the pieces that you need. For example, you can select a complete solution that includes a merchant account from e-onlinedata and an Authorize.Net payment gateway – all of which are seamlessly integrated to your PowerSoftCart storefront. Or, if you already have an Internet-enabled merchant account, you can “bring your own” merchant account and select just a secure, compatible gateway. 

Because we work with literally thousands of small and mid-sized Internet businesses, our partners provide Internet-enabled merchant accounts at the absolute lowest rates in the industry, and without hidden fees.  Our featured partners include e-onlinedata and Newtek Merchant Solutions, both industry leaders who issue hundreds of merchant accounts every month.  We can even recommend a solution for merchants that are having difficulty getting a traditional merchant account.

PowerPayment is completely certified as part of the new Authorize.Net “Shopping Cart Certification” program.  We have implemented this using their AIM (Advanced Integration Method), which is the newest and most secure way to integrate the Authorize.Net gateway.  We’ve handled all of the technology issues, making it easy and hassle-free for you to get started.    Many merchants pay hundreds of dollars to have the AIM integration done, but it’s included at no additional charge as part of the PowerPayment system.  Other payment gateways can also be integrated by Mercantec or by 3^rd parties using our Payment API, including AssureBuy, ClearCommerce, Cybersource, LinkPoint, Verisign, USAePay, and others. 

Mercantec takes online security and privacy very seriously.  We’ve implemented the strongest encryption technologies to insure that customer data is kept secure at all times.  We work continually with leading security firms, such as Ambiron, to make sure that solutions are the absolute best in the world.  In addition to data security, our partnerships enable world-class fraud control systems to make sure that you can feel confident about fulfilling your online orders.  For example, our Authorize.Net integration includes complete support for AVS (Address Verification Service) and CVV2 processing.

PayPal is used by millions of online shoppers’ everyday.  It is the preferred payment method of eBay and is quickly expanding into new markets.  We recommend that you offer multiple payment options to your customers, so we’ve fully integrated PayPal as part of PowerPayment.  You can use it as a standalone payment method, or in conjunction with a traditional merchant account.  And we don’t just link your shoppers off to PayPal, we’ve fully integrated all aspects of the service using their IPN (Instant Payment Notification) technology, including support for payments, returns, voids, and more.
