Intergrated Credit Card System
The Alert Integrated Credit Card System utilizes TPISoftware Payment Solutions (TPI) to process credit card transactions up to 16 times faster than a stand-alone terminal on a dial-up line. Plus, your staff will be able to process each transaction independently, at their own workstation, without waiting for a shared phone line or a single payment terminal.
Certified by Microsoft, as well as by most U.S. payment processors, TPI is focused on using the Internet as a low-cost, high-speed and secure communications network for delivering lightning fast transactions. TPI enables you to use low-cost keyboard-embedded or standalone readers, or to invest in sophisticated customer-facing payment terminals with signature capture and debit card pin pads, such as the new Ingenico terminals now featured by Alert.

Transaction Processing and Integration (TPI) is Alert’s new credit card processing software partner.

TPI’s stated objective is to enable payments to be processed on “any device, at any time, from any location.”
Key Features
- Fastest, most flexible and most efficient way yet to process credit cards in a rental store. Alert EasyPro automatically captures the credit card number, expiration date, and bank authorization without keyboard interaction.
- Works with multiple credit card processors and all popular credit card brands. In most cases, you can choose the banking and processing relationships that make the most sense for your business. May even lead to lower card processing charges based on negotiating new terms with your bank. (Results vary.)
- Works with either low-cost readers, or highfunction Ingenico terminals, or a combination. For example, you may decide to purchase one Ingenico terminal per store location, so that you have the ability to process large purchases as debit card transactions, thus capturing the lowest possible transaction fee. At the counter, you can swipe all cards as credit cards (even debit cards), to eliminate extra time and potential security risks.
- No transaction load charged by Alert. Your transaction fees are negotiated between you and your bank—Alert does not receive any kind of pay-per-transaction fee, so you can shop for the best overall banking relationship and best deal for your business. Key Features:
- TPI and the Alert interface meet current security standards for privacy and secure transactions. Get the lowest possible rates on “card not present” transactions by entering CV2 codes. Help eliminate fraud by verifying the billing address.
- Even if you save credit card numbers by customer account, only your authorized management personnel will be able to view full credit card numbers without on-screen masking.
- Compatible with Alert’s Cut Sheet Laser Printing System and the new Alert Signature Capture System. Incorporating the power and flexibility of all three Alert systems enables you to eliminate credit card slip printers and to store and print digital contracts containing all the credit card transaction details.
