Elavon, a leading global payments provider and wholly owned
subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp (NYSE: USB), announces its
new software development kit, Commerce SDK which
enables businesses to start accepting ApplePay™ and streamlines a
path to EMV. Elavon was one of the first acquirers to offer Apple
Pay to merchants for consumer use in the U.S. and continues to
bring the easy, secure and private payment service to
merchants.
The Commerce SDK comprehensive kit accelerates a business’
ability to implement a secure, EMV-compliant payment solution
by combining Elavon’s global payment processing, EMV
certification coding, encryption and tokenization implementation
and hardware support for printers, terminals and mobile devices
into one package that is easy to integrate.
Supported platforms include iOS, Android, Linux, and
Windows. Talech, the market-leading tablet platform, is
integrated into Elavon’s Commerce SDK, allowing businesses to
accept EMV payments and ApplePay.
“The greatest value Commerce SDK provides to our customers and
partners is its scalability; it’s designed for businesses
across the spectrum. From the large hotel chain with locations
across the country, to the local sandwich shop down the
street, Commerce SDK significantly reduces the time
it takes businesses to complete their EMV
roll-out. It allows the Point-of-Sale (POS) to
communicate with printers and terminals, as well
as process payments via our Converge
Omni-Commerce gateway,” said Wally Mlynarski, vice president
of Omni Commerce Solutions and The Grove for Elavon.
Commerce SDK is available to developers at
businesses, value added resellers, agents and
solutions providers and is supported by Elavon’s world-class
customer service.
Elavon’s mPOS solution now supports Apple Pay; EMV ready by
Q3 2015Elavon’s turnkey mobile POS solution now accepts
payments via NFC technology from consumers using Apple
Pay, enhancing the consumer payment experience for small and
medium size business (SMB) customers. The solution pairs Elavon’s
strength in payment processing
with talech’s market-leading tablet platform to allow
SMBs to accept Apple Pay, along with traditional magnetic
swipe credit card payments as well as electronic payments such as
EMV, chip & PIN and contactless. Businesses can accept Apple
Pay using a new reader powered by Ingenico Mobile
Solutions that connects to the mPOS via Bluetooth
technology.
The mPOS solution will offer EMV capabilities for customers
beginning in Q3 2015, ahead of October’s liability shift
deadline.
Irv Henderson, chief executive officer of talech, said, “By
partnering with Elavon, we continue to enable businesses with the
latest technologies like Apple Pay and EMV that enhance the
consumer experience. Now, small and medium size businesses can same
sophisticated payment options as their larger competitors
without the hefty price tag.”
“We’re seeing strong demand in the SMB merchant segment for EMV
and NFC payment acceptance solutions, and finding that many of
these merchants are relying heavily on partners such as Elavon to
help them prepare for the liability shift,” said Gregory Boardman,
Senior Vice President of Product and Development for Ingenico
Group, North America. “We’re pleased to continue our work with
Elavon, and to play a part in helping its customers through this
important transition with solutions that support merchant needs now
and in the future.”
