First Data Details

First Data Global Connect allows merchants to integrate HTML code into their websites to accept payments 24 hours a day. When a merchant's customer makes a purchase from the website, an email is sent to both the merchant and customer with the details of the transaction. This is an inexpensive way for merchants to add 24/7 real time online payment functionality to their web site.

A great benefit of First Data Global Connect is being able to do recurring or periodic billing. This allows merchants to run transactions on a recurring basis without any manual input once a transaction is originally entered.

With First Data Global Connect there is no secure server necessary because the credit card information is captured on the First Data Global Secure Payment Gateway server. How much information is collected and what fields you need to include on your form depends on the mode you select.

The PayOnly mode directs First Data Global to collect only the minimal data needed to process a credit card transaction from a consumer. First Data Global Connect reports show basic credit card processing transaction data only (i.e. dollar amount, time, date) but nothing about the order. Typically, you assume the task of gathering other parts of the order information outside of First Data Global Connect to know where to ship the order.

In PayPlus mode, you collect most of the information from the customer and post the data via an HTML form to First Data Global. First Data Global again collects minimum data, but your reports will reflect all the information you post to First Data Global. The advantage of PayPlus mode is it gives you the flexibility to collect the right mix of customer information that you need.

The FullPay mode directs the customer to enter all of the order data directly on the First Data Global Secure Payment Gateway form. Even though you can achieve the same result in PayPlus as with FullPay, the latter is a separate mode because it makes it easier for you to implement. By having FullPay collect the additional data, the First Data Global Connect reporting becomes even more useful and informative. Best of all, by selecting FullPay, First Data Global Connect does all the work.
