What you need

To integrate your chosen solution into your existing systems for online transaction processing, you will need:

• A website store already set up
• A secure payment solution set up to capture and process cardholder details, - either through:
  A Barclaycard Business Merchant Payment Interface (MPI)
  or
  An approved Payment Service Provider (PSP)

When we receive your application for ePDQ MPI...

• Once we've processed your application, we'll send you a welcome letter that explains your next steps and provides a link where you can collect your documentation
• We'll also email you to confirm your login details
• For security reasons we will ask you to call us to collect your password
• You are then ready to start integrating ePDQ into your system and carrying out full tests before going live
• When you're ready to go live, you simply complete an account activation form and we make the switch
• We'll send you a final confirmation email to let you know your store is ready to start accepting card payments

If you choose the MPI option, it is hosted by your system in order to capture cardholder information and convert it into an approved format. However, you still have responsibility for the security of card details. If you would prefer to pass this liability to us, you should consider adopting our simple end-to-end solution using our ePDQ Cardholder Payment Interface (CPI).

If you choose our Merchant Payment Interface option, we'll also provide an administration tool that lets you see and report on all your online transactions.
