Reporting and Reconciliation
Planet Payment’s reporting services seamlessly collect data from disparate systems, operations and geographic locations – and provide cohesive, in depth reporting of credit card transactions at the touch of a button.
We process transactions through a single currency-neutral platform, allowing for the reconciliation of different transaction types, completed in different currencies, at various times, across multiple regions, and disparate point-of-sale devices. The reporting of transaction-level and consolidated activity is provided through a single user interface.
* For merchants, our reporting system gives daily access to the detailed transaction reports needed to reconcile your credit card processing business. These analytical tools let you leave the data compiling to us, giving them more time to effectively use the information to better build your business.
* Our acquirer or processor level reporting includes additional levels of segregation—cross-property, multi-national and multi-acquirer—consolidated across regions, ICAs, BINs, or regional processing center. These reports are available via the Internet, at all times, at the touch of a button.
PC-Based Payment Processing
Start accepting cardholder present payments with PC-EFT, a “software in a box” processing solution. This easy-to-use Windows-based solution, licensed from Servebase Global Card Solutions, is customizable based on your business requirements. And, because PC-EFT runs on a PC, you have the flexibility of using one device for a multitude of store and business functions while reducing counter clutter.
PC-EFT can be used in lieu of a real or virtual terminal, handling all card types, including Visa, MasterCard, Amex, Discover and JCB. Fully PCI-compliant, your customers’ sensitive transaction data is encrypted and housed for you on our secure database. And, customizable reports are included using our best-in-class reporting and analytics functionality.
We make it easy for you to cater to international shoppers, as PC-EFT includes Pay in Your Currency, Planet Payment’s Dynamic Currency Conversion service, letting you offer your customers the choice to pay in the currency they know best - their own - without additional downloads or fees.
