Merchants that operate at retail locations can now leverage the speed of the Internet to authorize credit card transactions in as little as three seconds! By combining the robust Authorize.Net Payment Gateway with Internet Protocol (IP) enabled point-of-sale (POS) systems, you get an end-to-end solution that is far more efficient and reliable than dial-up systems.

IP-based POS systems offer several advantages:

• Faster Checkout Times - Improve customer satisfaction by speeding up checkout lines.
• Reduce Costs - Eliminate multiple dedicated telephone lines to reduce telecom expenses, while consolidating services costs for broadband.
• Increased Productivity - Simplify the integration of payment information into your enterprise applications.
• Stability and Reliability - The Authorize.Net platform rivals those of the largest e-commerce, trading, and portal Web sites. Our system handles millions of transactions every month, and is continuously monitored for performance.
