The comes with many options and features and can be configured to suit your needs and your business requirements.

Finally, the is a powerful reporting tool and can be used for a vast number of reporting needs: from finding a single transaction to exporting a large data file based on customized criteria.

When accessing the Merchant portal, you have to pass the authorization on the Login page first. At this point, you are going to enter your Credentials (Merchant ID, Username and Password), then click on “Login” button.

Login Page

After successful authorization, you will be forwarded to the Portal. If wrong credentials are entered, the system will display a corresponding message along with the count of allowed attempts. If the number of allowed login attempts is exceeded, your account will be locked with a clarification message, so be careful! To unlock you are going to need the help of your System Administrator, or Contact our Support Team. If you do not remember your password, use the 'Forgot Password' link.

Once logged, you can be logged out by two mechanisms:

• Session Timeout: Our solution has a timeout configuration applied to all of its users, once logged. This timeout is used to “expire” your user's session and log it out, if after the defined time, your user didn't perform any action on the portal. This avoids resource allocation for users which are not in active use of the system.

• Manual Logout: This is possible when the user desires to finish its interaction with the system, by purposely clicking on a “Logout” link. Options are available at the top right side of the portal, when clicking in your user name, and at the end of the left vertical menu.

At the top left corner of the portal, you can find a drop down menu which allows you to select the terminal you want to operate. This element allows a user to operate different terminals, as long as the user has access to more than one of them (if the merchant has more than one terminal).

Each terminal is going to be represented by two data: the terminal number and its currency. Optionally, a friendly name can be added during boarding too.

The “DASHBOARD” allows users to visualize their payments' statistics in a very user-friendly way. It is comprised of 4 panes, each of which has a defined presentation type and purpose, but each can be customized to display information about specific types of transactions, etc. To customize the data being visualized on each pane, you should click the spanner icon in the top right of the pane.

Dashboard

The four panes are:

• Top Periods – this displays your top periods (months, weeks, days or even hours). You can choose between the same three metrics as the graph pane and you can also filter by status.
• The Pie Chart – the pie chart is used to visualize your card type distribution, operator throughput or transaction results. It can be filtered by transaction status also, and can be limited to defined date ranges.
• Average Transaction – this pane displays ATV, Transaction Count or Total Transaction Value in a timeline. The date ranges, card types, operator and many different transaction types can be filtered.
• Recent Transactions – this pane shows live details about transactions as they are processed. It polls our server every few seconds and so there's no need to refresh the page, the transactions will simply appear here. The columns can be customized to display different fields of the transactions.

The Virtual Terminal provides merchants with the ability to execute manual card transactions. This is especially useful in a Mail Order / Telephone Order (MOTO) environment. The Virtual Terminal is accessible directly from the main menu.
