- MerchantSeek.com Announced that it has launched
SOVAI, the first payment module that allows merchants to use
their existing payment gateway account in a mobile setting
without needing any additional equipment or services.
SOVAI is a touch-tone payment processing service that plugs
into existing gateways, enabling the online merchant to accept
payments at trade/craft shows or on the customer site while
the customer is present.
SOVAI makes life easier for
online/internet merchant that usually accepts credit cards in
an internet or mail order environment but now needs to accept
payments in a card present environment (while the customer is
in front of you). More and more merchants are both
beginning to attend tradeshows/craft fairs and perform sales
on the customer's site. Before SOVAI this merchant would
either need to 1. Use their existing online account on a
laptop requiring wireless internet access, 2. They would have
to call in the transaction to a live operator then come back
later to complete the sale (this process can be time consuming
and expensive) or 3. They would need to open a completely
different merchant account for mobile transactions. With
SOVAI, these merchants may now keep their existing online
account, create a SOVAI account, create multiple logins for
order processing (in case they have multiple reps at the same
company that would like to accept orders "on the
go") and they may track which user processed which sale
by viewing our online reports.
SOVAI seeks to become
the number one resource for online/mail order merchants
that already have a payment gateway but are simply looking to
accept payments in a mobile setting. Through existing
partnerships and technological developments SOVAI will
continue to add gateways to our list of supported options.
The current list of gateways
that are compatible to simply plug in SOVAI is as follows:
