Overview
Global Payments On-Prem functionality allows shops to provide a convenient, contactless, experience for customers. The seamless integration between systems ensures fast and easy payment collection, eliminates the need to cross-reference between systems, processes the payment securely, and reduces human effort and the likelihood of mistakes.
Payment requests will come from the email and/or phone number all other AutoVitals notifications are sent from in order to provide a consistent experience for customers throughout and after their visit at the shop.
AutoVitals provides integration with Global Payments.
- Customers can pay onsite with credit cards via the Global Payments device integrated with AutoVitals.
- The Service Advisor (SA) is able to monitor what payments have been done already successfully and which ones are pending. In addition, duplicate payments are avoided by disabling the submission of a new payment request while a pending one is still open
Note:This functionality works the same way regardless of your AutoVitals package.
Benefits of the On-prem Integration
-
Provides a better, more professional user experience for both service advisor and consumer. (workflow diagram shown below in Payment Flow)
-
Eliminates possible human error entries into the card machine when Global Payments does not capture the amount directly from the two PoS solutions mentioned above (no integration).
-
This process will capture an electronic signature vs the consumer having to sign the receipt manually and the shop having to staple it to the invoice.
-
Consumers will receive an electronic receipt vs a paper receipt. This is a benefit for the shop, as well.
