What is ECRi?
ECRi (Electronic Cash Register interface) allows POS developers to create cost-effective, PCI compliant payment solutions. ECRi-enabled, standalone POS terminals allow merchants to process payments without transferring sensitive credit card account information to the merchant’s POS system.
POS software developers no longer need to ensure that their application is PA-DSS compliant, because ECRi offloads this responsibility to the merchant’s provider, reducing the headaches and costs associated with credit card fraud. Switching to ECRi offers many benefits for POS developers.
A simple payment solution
Integrating ECRi into your POS software involves working with a simple serial interface. This interface makes software development easier and more cost-effective than other payment solutions. This simple integration helps POS developers avoid the hassle of PCI compliance, eliminates the need for middleware, and saves money and time in the development process.
Save money
ECRi’s simple serial interface makes integration quick and affordable. POS developers now spend less money developing and maintaining their software.
Reduce reliance on middleware
ECRi allows transaction authorization to occur between a standalone POS terminal and the customer’s issuing bank, eliminating the need for costly middleware products to support the payment process.
Avoid the headaches of becoming compliant
Most PIN pad payment solutions transfer customer credit card data through the merchant’s POS system, requiring the software to be PCI compliant. Obtaining certification can be a costly and time-consuming process. POS developers who use ECRi avoid this hassle entirely.
