The Atomic ecomPort Wireless Payment Gateway provides connectivity from the CDMA network to the leading credit card, debit and check processors. Merchants do not need to change processors to take advantage of the OCM 8000 terminal. They can continue processing where they already have an established relationship. The merchant also receives a web based Merchant Console, a secure web service, for transaction reports. With the Merchant Console, merchants can review their transactions from anywhere they have web access. Simple pull down menus let the Merchant Console give access to real-time reporting for current transactions as well as a full year of transaction history.
Robert Brooks, Atomic Software's Director of Wireless Products states, "The OCM 8000 is just what many merchants have been looking for, a complete credit card terminal integrated with a fully functional Pocket PC PDA and including CDMA phone capabilities. This terminal has features for everyone."
