Merchant Center Version 1.3 is here!

The Merchant Center is getting a little makeover this week with some great new features we’re excited to roll out!

ACH/eCheck processing

Out of all the changes to the Merchant Center, we’re probably the most excited about adding ACH/eCheck processing to our Virtual Terminal. Benefits of accepting eChecks include fraud protection, much faster processing, and the ability to accept out of state/international checks. eChecks are processed through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) Network, and cannot be forged so they are more secure than paper checks. They also process in one to two business days unlike traditional checks.

Faster performance and other enhancements

Enhancement-wise, we merged “Authorizations” and “Settlements” into one tab, as well as adding a “Custom” tab to allow merchants to create their own custom reports. There are also several new fields including “Method” (keyed or swiped), “Process source” (via VT, API, HPP, etc), “PINless”, and more.

We’ve also simplified the design of the Virtual Terminal while making it mobile-friendly. You will also experience faster performance when switching between payment methods.

For more information on this release, here’s a look at everything new in Merchant Center v1.3.
