Other Abacus 21 approaches for Gift-Loyalty-Etc. Cards that are Internet-based are done via Shift4's "It's Your Card"® or Givex® technologies.

Outlined below are representative application service fees for the Internet-service aspects of Cards when using this approach.  (In addition to this, you still need to consider Abacus 21's Issuance, Rules, and POS application module add-on's related to this -- and, of course, the physical Cards themselves.  Call for pricing.)

There are three different programs available (all of which require $$$-on-the-Net® as a foundation, priced separately).  Level One and Level Two can be purchased in multiples -- each accumulating toward the higher Level Three; once the number of multiples reaches the Level Three ($5,000) plateau, the pricing (and provisions) of Level Three apply.

It's-Your-Card allows you to take advantage of third-party gift card providers -- including Givex, Nova, Paymentech and Datamark.

Shift4 continues to add certified interfaces to third-party gift card providers on a monthly basis to expand our robust gift card solution. This certification process allows all POS systems to automatically link merchants with all available processors without continuous re-certification.

Utilizing our "It's-Your-Card" solution, you can also take advantage of these features as well:

1. Complete access to all third-party devices -- including PIN pads, signature capture, and wireless terminals.
2. Dynamic Currency Conversion functionality, -- allowing merchants to earn a percentage of every foreign cardholder transaction while providing improved customer service for foreign patrons.
3. HTML invoices to provide merchants with an electronic copy of the full invoice to reduce charge backs.
4. Tokenization to help merchants securely store credit card data while assisting them with their PCI DSS certification and you with your Payment Application Best Practices (PABP) validation
