MAXCONNECT's card reader settlement is a service that allows credit card payment anywhere, if there are a PC and Internet available. Of course, this service is also available to those with a laptop, as long as there is a WiFi connection available; giving Merchants mobility with their credit card settlements.
Normally, many franchisees are looking for a CAT terminal, but CAT terminals are close to 100,000 yen, which is the norm, with initial investment fees being around 30,000 yen alone.
In addition, a few additional problems Merchants face with CAT terminals are: installation time, dedicated software, construction, and line installation. For many Merchants this becomes far too expensive and is not cost effective.
MAXCONNECT's card reader payment not only greatly reduces initial investment costs, but also gives Merchants confidence in our service, by coming with a dedicated card reader. Additionally, Merchants will feel safe using card reader settlements, since each Merchant will have a unique dedicated screen for their settlements. The Card reader settlement procedure is easy. If you proceed according to the procedure described on the screen, you can complete the credit card transaction and print out the customer's copy if necessary. With card reader payments, hand-input can also be done without swiping cards, so even if you can not read the magnetic surface of your card by chance, settlements are still possible.

Virtual terminal/VCAT function

As MAXCONNECT has set up the payment screen, we have made manual input available, even if the credit card itself is not on hand, you can submit settlements by phone or FAX. So that the staff can enter the information for you. In the credit industry, this is called a Virtual Terminal/VCAT, which is a credit service that you can use in a wide range of industries.
Our payment system is compliant with PCI DSS and we are working hard on improving security on a daily basis.
