Agent Assisted Payments Agent Assisted PaymentsAgent Assisted Payments
DTMF payment processing system
Agent Assisted Payments enable customers to enter their credit or debit card details without the DTMF tones being heard, seen or recorded by the customer service agent processing the payment. Provides companies with a secure way of handling payments by phone removing them from the scope of PCI-DSS.
The customer and the agent remain in conversation throughout the entire process, but the sensitive card data is prevented from reaching the agent or the client’s systems.
How does it work
Your agents answer the call in the normal way & enter the callers details apart from the long card, expiry date & security number in to the web-based portal which can easily accessed through a desktop, tablet or mobile device.
At the point where the customer is required to enter the long card number, you transfer the caller to our PCI-DSS secure platform by means of a pre-configured transfer code.
The caller is prompted to enter their long card number, expiry date & security number. The agent cannot hear the DTMF digits of the card details being entered, but the caller can still hear the agent if there are any issues & the agent can see the transaction being processed on screen.
The caller can speak to the agent at any time to deal with any problems. If necessary the agent can edit the call, change any details & the caller can try different cards ensuring the transaction can be completed in one call.
Once the caller has finished entering the card details, the system submits the information to the payment gateway. If the transaction is successful both the merchant & the caller receive confirmation & can continue their conversation or alternatively try another card while remaining on the same call.

Additional Features
Tokenisation
Tokenization is the process of replacing sensitive card data with unique identification symbols that retain all the essential information about the data without compromising its security. Customers only need to register their card details once saving time on regular payments. No sensitive card details are stored.
Recurring Payments
Recurring payments are automatic payments to authorise and collect charges immediately. This amount is deducted on the due date of every billing cycle, such as weekly, fortnightly, monthly etc. Customer don’t have to worry about the late fees or failed payments as they do with a failed direct debit.
SFTP Integration
Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) ensures data is securely transferred using a private & safe data stream allowing you to upload & validate customer information to negate errors & save time.
API Integration
An application-programming interface (API) is a set of programming instructions and standards for accessing a Web-based software application or Web tool. Our platform is compatible with many different API’s or we can provide help or guidelines for a bespoke API if necessary.
