goEmerchant

The merchant account provider goEmerchant handles card and bank payments for merchants in store, on mobile and online. Developers and independent software vendors that want to build payments into their own products are also served. Its support is by live telephone for both technical and customer questions.

Merchant accounts and payment types

The company offers merchant accounts that take card payments, Apple Pay and bank transfers over the ACH network. Its material describes the service as easy processing with enhanced features, designed to help a business grow. Payments can be taken in person, on a mobile device or online, with equipment that suits each channel.

In-person terminals and card readers

For shops and other physical sites, goEmerchant also sells terminals, mobile card readers and point-of-sale hardware that reads EMV chips. An SDK for EMV card readers is available to developers who build their own systems around that hardware, and the company presents the range as one that covers every point of sale.

Tools for developers and software vendors

The company builds its tools for developers, with a REST API, client libraries and an EMV reader SDK. Independent software vendors can hand their customers over to goEmerchant to provide integrated payment services, and the company says it offers unusual flexibility to those partners. Live technical phone support is available to developers as well.

Security and fraud prevention

Payment data is protected by end-to-end encryption and tokenization, which the company says helps prevent fraud at each stage of a transaction. Transaction processing is set up with redundancy to keep payments flowing, and the company says it aims for quick processing.

Reporting and support

Cloud-based analytics and transaction reports can be reached from any device, and the company says its reporting tools help staff report on transactions in practical ways. Support is provided by a boutique-style live telephone team for both technical and customer needs.
