5/1/04 – Enhancements to our Credit Card Services |
|
|
The CohesIS2000 Automatic On-line Credit Card Processing has
been enhanced by adding Level 2 & Level 3 P-Card support, as
well as CVV2 support for all credit cards. The addition of
Level 2 & 3 P-Card support enables you to provide your customers
with invoice header data as well as their orders’ line item
detail information directly on their Credit Card statement, and
is a requirement for many larger corporate merchandising
programs. The CVV2 enhancement provides you with an increased
security feature to reduce your processing risk by requiring a
code that is physically printed on the Credit Card, thus
ensuring that the shopper actually has the card, and not just
the credit card number. CVV2 is an authentication scheme
established by credit card companies to further efforts towards
reducing fraud, particularly for E-Commerce transactions.

issues involving the Ariba network.

functionality and user-friendliness of the E-Commerce Publisher used
to create them.

priority entered are considered the lowest priority (below 99).

This function is especially beneficial to companies with large
outside sales forces because it automatically informs the salesman
when their orders are placed. This will enhance the efficiency of
the sales process and will significantly decrease the amount of time
the salesman spends researching and tracking their orders.
