PPI Adds Integrated Payment Processing Solution for Software Developers with Canadian Customers

July 11, 2007 - PRLog -- Newark, California, July 11, 2007 – Payment Processing, Incorporated (PPI), the industry leader for integrated payment solutions, today announced new product features for the Canadian market. These additions include technology that supports Canadian credit and debit and offers Canadian merchant account services, resulting in the most comprehensive integrated payment solution available for software developers with customers throughout North America.



“Nearly every software developer who utilizes integrated payments in their application has customers in both the U.S. and Canada,” says Chuck Riegel, EVP of Partnerships and Services at PPI. “With this new solution, developers can now offer a complete solution for integrated payments to customers in both countries.”



The PPI Advantage Partnership Program for software developers includes:

• Technology - a feature rich, dependable, free payment gateway designed and built by PPI

• Developer Support - free integration assistance and PCI services from a dedicated team that has assisted in developing hundreds of payment integrations

• Merchant Support - installation and set-up services for every merchant and ongoing 24/7/365 transaction processing support

• Merchant Services - PPI provides and supports merchant accounts for both U.S. and Canadian customers

• Marketing Support - materials for packaging and promoting the integrated payments solution to end users

• Additional revenue opportunities



In addition, software developers will quickly realize benefits from PPI PayMover’s single API architecture which requires just one integration effort. “The majority of payment gateways were designed for the Internet boom of the 90s and are not equipped to handle the numerous payment types we see today,” explains Shannon Byrne Susko, EVP of Product & Technology at PPI.



“As a result, adding payment services typically increases the complexity of the integration effort for software developers. With PPI PayMover’s single API architecture, developers see this complexity diminish significantly. Our partners can now integrate credit and PIN-based debit for the U.S. and Canada —all using a single API that makes the integration task much easier,” continues Byrne Susko.



Currently, PPI supports five software companies with the integration and certification process for Canadian PIN-based debit.
