Blog test image 2.1

Every payment gateway you found in the market has its own merits and demerits. We are too having demerits with respect to meeting the demands of customer expectations. But our promise to our customers that we continuously work on fulfilling customer-requested features is what keeps us unique among our competitors. As we promised, we keep on releasing new features in our Valor cloud-based payment platform.

With Valor virtual portal, virtual terminal, and physical terminals with so many customized features on your side, your merchant customer payment process is a simple and effortless process that gives comfort and convenience to both merchants and customers.

Dynamic Database

A powerful and dynamic database of customers is built automatically at the time of transaction. The database is stored in the cloud so that it can be easily accessed anywhere and anytime helping the merchant customers in avoiding the need to invest in storage devices and stay in a particular location to have access.

Switch Platforms

Multiple platforms on a device can be easily switched without having to return for reprogramming, giving flexibility to your merchant customers in switching the payment options instantly.

Support Multiple Processors and Gift Cards

Valor Portal

With the support of the Valor portal, your merchant customers no longer need to collaborate with multiple vendors to add payment channels. The portal provides the following features.

No Batch Requirement for Update

Updates are automatically done in the cloud. Thus, no batch is required to update device parameters.

Instant Boarding

You can board the terminal in the portal and have the flexibility to activate it remotely, helping in saving time and avoiding the need of transporting the terminal for activation. The boarding and deployment are the fastest and simplest in the industry.

Full Control of Device Parameters

The device parameters are the settings that your merchant customers need to configure in order to get the best out of your device.

These parameters can be configured by accessing the Settings menu on your device or Device Parameters menu on the portal, which gives your merchant customers the power to control over their device parameters depending on their needs.

Diagnosis at Your End

When terminal issues arise, you can diagnose and solve the issues easily without involving the merchant, offering the much-needed comfort for your merchant customers for not involving them in troubleshooting when they have many other most important business aspects to focus on.

Real-Time Update

In this feature, your merchant customers can view and manage transaction as it happens in real time, providing up-to-date information on the transactions to help them understand the financial overview of their business.

Cash Discounting and Surcharging Features

We also provide the best and strongest cash discounting and surcharging features in the industry displayed on the device screen providing the merchant customers with the opportunity to immediately let their customer decide which option to go on as they can see the difference between the purchased items’ costs under the cash discounting and surcharging labels. These features can be customized.

Batch Settlements

Batch settlement is the process of settling payment transactions in batches. They are more efficient than individual settlements because they reduce the risk of fraud and provide a better overview of all transactions.

 

In our portal, batch settlement can be done with a single click within the maximum period of 3 days.

Download & Email Receipt

In addition to the hard copy of a receipt, a soft copy is also available. And it can be downloaded and sent via email providing the customers with an option for being environment friendly if they accept to receive only digital receipts.

Reports

In the Valor portal, your merchant customers can view detailed reports of all their customers’ transactions, including the timestamps and frequencies at which they occurred giving the big picture of the financial status of their business.

Customization

Valor portal is a user-friendly platform that offers customization options for your merchant customers. The features of user administration, tip adjustment, discounts, promotion, and messages can be customized based on the need of merchant customers.

 

This gives an advantage to their business by enabling only the features they frequently use saving time and providing comfort. 

Valor Connect

The Valor Connect feature helps your merchant customers connect the POS with the Valor portal instantly. When merchants are having limited numbers of POS and pay-through-card customers are waiting in a queue to pay, instead of using the POS for selecting the customer purchased items, merchants can use the Valor portal to enter the items and send the billing to POS by clicking the Valor Connect option available in the portal.

 

 In this way, your merchant customers can reduce the customer waiting time by using the POS for transactions alone.

Valor Shield Risk Management Tool

Your merchant customers are always protected with Valor Shield at their side. They can stop problematic transactions before they occur, prevent card fishing, set transaction amount limits, set the number of transactions allowed per day and month, and restrict international cards.

A Way to Understand Customer Feedback

Knowing customer feedback is essential to improve your business, especially negative ones as they spoil your business reputation. In our portal, we are having the feature of the Valor survey to receive customer feedback.

Once the feedback is received, using the feature Engage My CustomerTM, you merchant customers can respond to negative feedback immediately and stop spreading the bad reviews.

Dashboard

Understanding when your customers spend money is a valuable statistic, which can be found in the Valor dashboard. Analyze your customer spending habits and send marketing messages to increase traffic during slow times and prepare your business for the busy times.

Campaign Features: Engage My CustomerTM

Your merchant customers can promote their services and products in paper and digital receipts. And they can use these features for even announcing discounts and reminding upcoming exclusive offers or sending personalized marketing messages.

 

They can send targeted marketing campaigns to the customers who have stopped visiting their business for a specified amount of time and win them back. Customers that frequently visit your business should never be lost. Stay in communication with your VIP Customers and they will never leave.

e-Invoice

The e-Invoice is an in-built feature of the Valor platform, which has been designed to help merchant customers manage their taxation and compliance requirements. This e-Invoice automatically calculates taxes and benefits.

 

It will have all the information on the invoice, such as product description, price, VAT and other taxes as well as information on delivery and payment methods.

Virtual Terminal

Use our virtual terminal for the payment process in addition to POS as a supportive and alternative POS. It provides features, even not in the POS, with the capability to connect and access anytime and anywhere with the option of scheduling recurring payments and subscriptions.

Tokenized Payments with Dynamic Descriptor

Every transaction is stored with a customer name, which is helpful in identifying who are all the frequent customers. Knowing the frequent customers is most important as they are VIP customers of your business and give more profits.

 

Once the data of VIP customers are collected, your merchant customers can send customized messages to them, which ultimately results in more sales.

E-invoice

 In the virtual terminal, your merchant customers can send E-invoices.

Payments

Multiple payment options in the Valor gateway give flexibility to merchant customers to get their payments from their customers through multiple modes.

Text to Pay & Email to Pay

Using text-to-pay and email-to-pay features customers can directly pay through messages and emails.

Pay Now Link Hosted Payment Page

Pay now link hosted payment page can be created from the virtual terminal, with the options of expiration and without expiration, which can be used for requesting donations and payments.

QR Payment

QR payment can be made at the virtual terminal, which is both secure and convenient as customers of your merchant customers don’t need to type the recipient’s name and account number but simply scan the QR code to initiate the transfer.

Gift Card Transaction

The payments made using gift cards are accepted in the Valor Terminal.

Recurring Payments

The option for recurring payment can be set for subscription-type services and products.

Auto Apply for L2 & L3 Benefits

The virtual terminal supports L2 and L3 line items, which are useful for B2B and B2G businesses.

Ecommerce Integration

Our payment gateway can be easily integrated with e-commerce sites with the option to pay via multiple platforms.
