Commidea launches Vanguard payment gateway

The Vanguard payment gateway provides a certified solution for online purchasing, enabling e-commerce websites to handle high volumes of purchases. The system does no allow sensitive cardholder data to enter or pass through the merchant systems, thus ensuring compliance with PCI DSS. Vanguard provides merchants with a wide range of payment options and also includes multi-currency transaction capabilities and PayPal integration.

The service has also integrated ‘Verified by VISA and MasterCard SecureCode’ into its payment process, to provide merchants with security measures employed within the service.Furthermore, via Vanguard, merchants gain access to both Commidea’s helpdesk and WebCom. WebCom is a browser-based management information system which reports every transaction that Commidea has processed for the merchant.
