Pulse Retail Partners With YESpay To Offer Jointly Integrated EMV Managed Payment Service!

Toronto, Canada– Pulse Retail Systems’ Point of Sale (POS) software is now integrated with YESpay’s EMV Chip and PIN accredited and PCI-DSS Level 1 certified managed payment service called EMBOSS.

Pulse Retail Systems specializes in retail software solutions from the Point-of-Sale software to reporting, analysis and forecasting tools. Integrated with YESpay’s EasyV-Retail, Pulse Retail now offers a special solution for EMV Chip and PIN and magnetic stripe credit and debit card acceptance and processing for merchants of all sizes.

Thanks to this strategic partnership, Pulse Retail’s merchants can now securely process transactions with their selected card processor such as First Data Merchant Services (FDMS) and Chase Paymentech through YESpay’s EMV pre-accredited and PCI-DSS certified EMBOSS payment service. EasyV-Retail solution supports all major EMV and swipe credit and debit cards including Visa, MasterCard, Interac, Maestro, Amex, Diners and more. EasyV-Retail also supports on-line PIN validation for both Canadian Interac debit card transactions as well as US magnetic debit transactions.

Bill L. Clements, Manager Client Relations of Pulse Retail Systems comments “We wanted to offer our clients a PCI-DSS compliant EMV Chip & Pin ready solution that was multi-acquirer approved. YESpay made the difficult task of achieving multiple certifications from multiple acquirers a simple one by helping us navigate the requirements to achieve both EMV Chip & Pin readiness as well as PCI-DSS compliance. By partnering with YESpay, our solution ensures that our clients do not require separate PA-DSS certification.”

Pulse Retail’s Canadian merchants have now an off-the-shelf EMV upgraded Point of Sale system enabling them to handle EMV Chip and PIN card transactions even before the liability shift date of March 31st 2011. Indeed, the quickest route to market to meet merchants’ EMV Chip & PIN requirements is using YESpay’s unique outsourced EMBOSSpayment solution, fully PCI-DSS certified and EMV accredited.

This solution relieves merchants from investing and maintaining an expensive in-house payment solution as well as undergoing formal EMV end-to-end bank testing and managing PCI-DSS compliance. Outsourcing payment processing considerably cuts the costs and timescales associated with bank accreditation and compliance with PCI-DSS requirements!

Besides, the integration of YESpay payment software with POS software like Pulse Retail is completed in a matter of weeks. Integration took less than 4 weeks, and Pulse Retail used YESpay`s free toolkit and support to perform this comprehensive integration.

As Harry Morge, National Sales Manager at YESpay explains “It is a pleasure to add Pulse Retail to our growing list of partners. My mission is to ensure that Pulse Retail and its merchants benefit from an easy to deploy solution enabling them to overcome the burden of PCI-DSS & PA-DSS and accept EMV payments. The end result: merchants can beat the EMV liability shift deadline but still take payments in an integrated fashion. This leads to significant cost reduction and helps merchants focus on their core business.”
