GO Software Announces New and Improved PCCharge

Company: GO Software, Inc.
Product: PCCharge 5.7

GO Software, Inc., a subsidiary of Return On Investment Corp., made numerous upgrades to its point-of-sale software solution, PCCharge, which enables merchants to accept and process electronic and check transactions using a personal computer; the latest version of the product is called PCCharge 5.7.

PCCharge 5.7 now supports Canadian debit transactions on Global Processing Network's platform and provides better security related to Visa's Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP), among other enhancements.

Under Visa CISP requirements, merchants must perform CISP validation on any systems where Visa cardholder data are processed, stored or transmitted. An audit conducted by Ambiron, an enterprise security advisor firm, found that the use of PCCharge 5.7 in a secure environment would not prohibit a merchant from meeting Visa's CISP requirements.

Other upgrades to the software include: the requirement for merchants to provide more data with consumer credit card transactions and the ability for merchants to do this by regularly requesting updates to number sequences (BIN ranges), which change frequently on commercial cards; American Express Direct Settlement of level two data, through select networks, which enables merchants to send transactions in more detail to bank processors and present an itemized cardholder statement; client updates; and additional gift card certifications and updated support for hardware.

GO Software offers a suite of products under the PCCharge brand. The company developed PCCharge Pro for medium to large merchants and designed PCCharge Express for smaller merchants. Both products enable businesses to accept not only credit and debit cards, but also checks, EBT and gift cards using a PC rather than a point-of-sale terminal. Other products in the PCCharge suite include PCCharge Payment Server, PCCharge Perks and PCCharge Development Kit.
