Savannah, GA (8/15/2006) - Thompson Merchant Services
announced today that it was launching Touch-Pay Advanced, the first payment module
that allows merchants to use their existing payment gateway account in a mobile
setting without needing any additional equipment or services. Touch-Pay Advanced
is a touch-tone payment processing service that plugs into existing gateways, enabling
the online merchant to accept payments at trade/craft shows or on the customer site
while the customer is present.
Touch-Pay Advanced makes life easier for online/internet
merchant that usually accepts
credit cards in an internet or mail order environment
but now needs to accept payments in a card present environment (while the customer
is in front of you). More and more merchants are both beginning to attend
tradeshows/craft fairs and perform sales on the
customer's site. Before Touch-Pay
Advanced this merchant would either need to 1. Use their existing online account
on a laptop requiring wireless internet access, 2. They would have to call in the
transaction to a live operator then come back later to complete the sale (this process
can be time consuming and expensive) or 3. They would need to open a completely
different merchant account for mobile transactions. With Touch-Pay Advanced,
these merchants may now keep their existing online account, create a Touch-Pay Advanced
account, create multiple logins for order processing (in case they have multiple
reps at the same company that would like to accept orders "on the go") and they
may track which user processed which sale by viewing our online reports.
Touch-Pay Advanced seeks to become the number one resource for online/mail order
merchants that already have a payment gateway but are simply looking to accept payments
in a mobile setting. Through existing partnerships and technological developments
we will continue to add gateways to our
list of supported options. We will
both look to add gateways proactively and on a per-request basis.
