First Data™ FD300
Multi-Merchant
Terminal
The Challenge
In locations where multiple merchants or separate
business entities share a single payment processing
terminal (such as a doctor’s office or a beauty salon),
it is often difficult to determine which business the
sales should be credited to. When all sales are lumped
together, it can take hours of sorting through the
monthly statement to accurately track individual sales.
In addition, older terminals may not accept the wide
variety of card and payment options that today’s
customers prefer to use. This can slow down the
payment process at checkout and even hurt sales.
The Solution
The First Data™ FD300 terminal is an ideal solution
for operations that need to keep track of sales from
separate businesses housed at the same location.
Its multi-merchant capability allows the merchant
to conveniently designate which business the sale
is applied to at the time of purchase, all with one
point-of-service terminal. The merchant still receives a
single, easy-to-read statement, but each transaction is
designated by the specific business.
The FD300 accepts virtually all payment options,
including Visa
®
, MasterCard
®
, Diners Club
®
, American
Express
®
and Discover
®
Network*. The large, intuitive,
color touch-screen interface is easy to understand,
reducing training time and user errors. Transactions
take just seconds through the Internet Protocol (IP)
connectivity, with dial-up as a backup. It provides
outstanding performance, reliability and security for
high-volume, multi-user merchants.
Here’s How It Works
Easy-to-follow prompts on the screen guide the initial
setup. In just a few minutes, a merchant is ready to use
the FD300 terminal to accept credit cards, as well as PIN
and signature debit cards, Electronic Benefits Transfer
(EBT) cards and gift cards.
In a multi-merchant arrangement, each business selects
its name at the time of the transaction. This allows the
system to keep track of all sales by specific business.
Transactions are menu driven and touch screen
actuated. As a security feature, customer receipts
show only the last four digits of the card number as a
protection against fraud and identity theft.
