Responding to this trend, Paysafe’s integration with Handpoint’s new Cloud SDK allows ISVs to diversify their payment offerings through the addition of in-person payments with EMV cards, as well as leading wallets like apple Pay and Google Pay.

The SDK facilitates card-present payments for ISVs by serving as a bridge between web apps and payment terminals, with seamless payment processing by Paysafe.

ISVs can now offer their merchants a fully integrated omni-channel experience—a true one-stop shop for all their payment needs.

The SDK is complemented by next-generation PAX Android terminals (A920 and A80 models). These are hand-held mobile devices with strong user experience that support EMV and contactless payments (via Wi-Fi, 3G or Ethernet).

Cardholders’ data is protected by point-of-point encryption (P2PE)

Intuitive activation for merchants

Merchants will benefit from an intuitive activation with no need to manage a complex network setup. The SDK also supports tokenisation and tip adjustment, among other functionalities.

O. B. Rawls, CEO of Global Payment Processing at Paysafe, said:

“An omni-channel payments offering is vital for success in the ISV space—providing consumers with a seamless experience whether they’re paying in person, online, or via mobile. We’re delighted to put this into practice in partnership with Handpoint, enabling ISVs merchant partners to provide consumers with a strong card-present payment solution.”

Jody Muehlegger, COO and head of North America at Handpoint, commented:

“ISVs must support the specific and evolving needs of their merchant vertical. Our Cloud SDK combined with Paysafe’s omni-commerce technology enables cutting-edge software providers to integrate unified payments across every touch point, without compromising security, control, or the customer experience.”
