accept.blue Partners with Equinox for Card Present Payments
Equinox Luxe 8500i and Luxe 6200m terminals are integrated with the accept.blue gateway via secure cloud connectivity, simplifying PCI compliance. In addition to direct gateway connectivity, ISVs can quickly integrate card-present payments as features in their software under their brand using accept.blue’s modern API.
“We’re excited to add in-person EMV and contactless payments to our platform,” said Ben Frisch, director of business development at accept.blue. “Integrating Equinox solutions broadens our addressable market and creates new revenue opportunities for our resellers.”
“We’re proud to partner with accept.blue on their card-present payment strategy,” said Rob Hayhow, vice president at Equinox Payments. “In sectors such as retail, automotive, and medical offices, most payments are made in person. Capturing payment details on a cloud-connected, semi-integrated terminal is faster and more secure than manually keying data.”
Equinox’s flexible Voyager payment application runs on Luxe terminals and supports vertical segments, including retail, hospitality and B2B/B2C services. The solution can be configured for various fixed and mobile use cases, thanks to communication options including ethernet, USB, wi-fi and Bluetooth, with 4G LTE coming soon. accept.blue’s Level 2 and Level 3 interchange optimization and credit card surcharging are supported on Luxe devices. The company uses Equinox HUB to configure, personalize, manage, and update terminals and software.
Austin Gee is the founder and president of RedRock Payments and an enthusiastic fan of Equinox and accept.blue. “The sleek design of Luxe terminals and the flexibility of the accept.blue gateway are game changers. Card-present processing, payment optimization, and compliant surcharging reduce customers’ transaction costs and help us win more business.”
