Cloud EMV

ECRYPT offers a faster and more flexible card-present solution with Cloud EMV. Legacy credit card terminals require a hard connection via ethernet or phone line to a POS workstation. Cloud EMV is a true Wi-Fi or cellular connection between the terminal and processing network. This allows a more streamlined terminal setup and device updates occur automatically without having to download drivers.

How Cloud EMV works

There are 4 key components to implementing your Cloud EMV integration.

  • Your POS workstation: Interface used to initiate and manage card-present transactions.
  • Your software backend: Sends transaction request to ECRYPT and receives approval response.
  • ECRYPT API: Receives transaction request and returns approval response to conform payment.
  • Cloud EMV terminal: captures and encypts credit card data to finalize transaction.
