Introducing a new generation method to safely and easily accept online credit card payments from your website or shopping cart without the high cost of on-going payment gateway transaction fees or charges.
Australia's most affordable internet credit card payment gateway, e-Path, delivers a uniquely easy and secure system bred from the ground up to comply with, and in some areas exceed, the latest security requirements of the new Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).
With e-Path there are...
e-Path is a manual credit card payment gateway that provides the complete secure PCI DSS compliant front-end environment (exclusive to each and every e-Path customer) for your website or shopping cart to communicate to that enables your customers to safely make a credit card payment charge authorisation to you. e-Path is the secure 'gateway', in the true meaning of the word, between your customer and you.
Being a manual payment gateway means that when someone makes a payment, credit cards are charged manually into your merchant account at your bank. You are in unique control over what is transacted into your merchant account and what is not. This can be done in many ways, for example, via an online secure website (just like internet banking) provided by your bank as part of a manual merchant account facility, or via your EFTPOS terminal (offline), or via a mobile EFTPOS system, or by batch uploading singular or multiple credit card details directly to your bank via a bank website, or even via a simple and basic paper based system.
Manual merchant account facilities provided by banks can cost as little as around $30.00 per year plus the usual assortment of bank fees and charges which tend to differ from one bank to the next. This can be an inexpensive and easy way to charge credit card payments which e-Path has safely accepted from your website or shopping cart and can also be used to charge credit card payments that come to you by fax machine, telephone, normal physical mail as well as in person and card present situations, thereby expanding the ways your business can accept credit cards well beyond that of just from the internet via e-Path.

For those with an existing EFTPOS terminal or merchant account facility that already allows the manual entry of credit cards (card not present) then congratulations, you now only need e-Path to give you the ability to accept credit card payments from your website or shopping cart. You will need to notify your bank to add e-Path to the list of ways you accept credit cards to ensure you remain compliant with usage requirements of the merchant account service they are providing for your business. |
The new Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) ushers in a completely new era of strong enforceable standards to strengthen security for the handling of credit card data. All online businesses that store, process or transmit credit card details in any way are now required to do so in strict compliance with the new PCI DSS rules. There are no exceptions and penalties for non-compliance can be severe.
See Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS)
With e-Path as your payment gateway your website or shopping cart doesn't touch credit card data. It is your exclusive e-Path gateway hosted within e-Path's own PCI DSS compliant environment that receives the credit card data from your customers. Therefore, because your website does not ask for credit card data to be entered into it, has nothing to do with handling credit card data and doesn't even see credit card data. This removes your website from being applicable to PCI DSS classification in the first place.
