How SoftPOS Protects Payment Security
Leading SoftPOS providers use a layered approach to security to keep cardholder data safe. It starts with Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance specifically for contactless payment acceptance on commercial mobile devices. SoftPOS applications do not store cardholder data on the device and protect it with tokenization and encryption in use and in transit. Choosing a SoftPOS solution from a leading provider will give independent software vendors (ISVs) and value-added resellers (VARs) the tools and support to offer this payment method securely.
Discover the Benefits of SoftPOS Integration for VARs and ISVs
Software-based point of sale (SoftPOS) integration allows ISVS and VARs to offer cost-effective, payment-terminal-free solutions for accepting contactless payments. Partnering to take a SoftPOS solution to market can streamline processes and help ISVs and VARs capitalize on fast-growing interest in markets, including retail, field services, delivery, and restaurants.
