The Merchant Console Virtual Terminal is the primary tool that every USA ePay merchant receives. In the simplest terms, the Merchant Console can be thought of as a credit card machine that runs online. It has all the functions of a credit card machine with added tools, versatility and customization.
The Basics...
The Merchant Console starts with the basics that every merchant needs. These basic functions include the ability to process a sale, void, credit, authonly, postauth and settlement; all the functions of a credit card machine but it's all done online.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reports...
The console also allows merchants to view a wide array of different reports. Transactions for reports are stored for the life of the account and you can decide to either view a report for your entire processing history or view a report for just the past day. Visual reports with graphs and charts make it easy for you to see your transaction history. Export users can create custom reports with specific criteria to fit any merchant's reporting needs and any report can be printed, emailed or downloaded at any time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Customer Billing Database...
Without having to install any additional software, the Customer Billing section of the Merchant Console allows merchants to create a customer database and to create and maintain auto-billing cycles for those customers. Customers can be auto-billed on a daily, weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, bi-annual or annual basis. This feature works especially well for hosting companies and time-payment merchants who allow their customers to pay in installments.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Batch Uploading...
Whether you need to upload a file of ten transactions or ten-thousand transactions, the batch uploader allows you to do so. Built into the console, the Batch Uploader allows merchants, who do not authorize in real-time or who prefer to upload batches of transactions (such as fulfillment centers) at one time, to upload files of transactions in supported formats [such as comma and tab limited] and then process them without having to key them in one at a time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Security First...
Along with being PCI Complaint, the Merchant Console runs on the highest level of security. USA ePay uses the best in 1024-bit SSL Digital ID encryption for all transaction processing and goes far beyond the minimum standards making our gateway one of the most secure in the industry.

Why Process Online?
The most common question among merchants is, why choose a "virtual" credit card machine instead of the typical stand-alone credit card machines? The greatest benefit of using a "virtual" merchant console is that it provides you, the merchant, with the ability to process from any computer with an internet connection in the world. Processing online gives a company mobility and scalability that a stand-alone credit card machine simply can not provide.
