- Highly robust and reliable, with 100% uptime in last two years.
The Actinic Payment service is built on the Creditcall financial and technical infrastructure, one of the most robust and reliable in the industry with 100% up time since 2005. The service is based on hundreds of servers in four geographic locations on two continents with full failover/recovery between all locations and availability of the service is monitored 24x7. The service has Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) mitigation already in place – all credit card payments go via the anti DDOS network, so your payment system is already protected against this form of attack.
- The most functional credit card payments system available to Actinic users.
Used with Actinic's award-winning ecommerce products, Actinic Payments provides an unprecedented level of efficiency for the merchant, with most common card payment functions accessible directly from the order-processing application – including pre-authorisations, refunds and voids. This will make order processing simpler, reduce errors and reduce costs. As well as enabling secure online payments, the system also offers debit and credit card processing for mail order / telephone order (MOTO), providing a complete multi-channel payment system. Online administration screen for viewing payments and reporting.
- Low entry-level price and competitive monthly fees.
Our pricing structure is designed to offer an affordable option whatever the size of your business, and to be competitive with other available credit card processing services. We challenge you to try to find a similar card payment service with the same features at a lower price.
- Single point of support.
Should any problems arise, Actinic merchants now have access to a one-stop shop where any technical or operational issues can be resolved with a single phone call, whether it be software or payment service related.
