Easy-to-sell software integrations

novioPay from HBMS Today's payments ecosystem is complex. With an industry full
of back-end processors, gateway platforms, and an ever-growing host of independent
software vendors, it can be difficult to know how to pair a prospective merchant with
I the best merchant services provider.

Chances are, your client is using some type of third-party software product for tracking
customers, managing finances, and/or administering internal processes like inventory or
web-based selling. Therefore, most of them will also benefit from an integrated payments
solution.

As a sales professional, it's your job to help your clients understand what solution is right for their business and why.
However, this obligation can be a bit daunting if you're not sure which payment platform pairs best with a software
application they are using.

This is when working with a reputable, full-service processor that offers an array of integration options will make it easier
for both you and your clientele.

Integrating for efficiency
"What separates us from a gateway standpoint is that we can integrate and customize a payment solution for any client,"
said Leonard Garcia, Vice President of Sales at Humboldt Merchant Services. "We like to pride ourselves on being nimble

and we have the ability to bridge the gap with custom-coded integrations that keep the client's best interest in mind."
When clients onboard to Inovio, the HBMS proprietary gateway, Garcia indicated they have access to several third-party
software integrations already available through Inovio's developer portal. According to Garcia, it's as easy as downloading
the code from a library of pre-programmed application programming interfaces and software developer kits. "The process
often only takes a day to get the integrated payments system up and running," he said.

Garcia also noted the Inovio development team helps merchants with custom payment gateway integrations. "We've been
doing this a long time and know how to help merchants get connected quickly," he stated. "We're never deterred when
challenged with a client who might be using a gateway requiring more work from an integration standpoint."
Integrating for redundancy

According to Garcia, Inovio also offers certain features and functionality most gateways don't have, including built-in
fraud and chargeback mitigation tools and robust reporting capabilities, specially designed to cover a merchant's full
business spectrum.
