What you need

To take advantage of our ePDQ-Lite card processing service you will need:

• Orders coming in - by mail order, phone or fax, or via a non-automated internet site
• A web browser

When we receive your application...

• 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 obtain your password
• You can then login and start familiarising yourself with the system and perform test transactions
• When you're ready to go live, you simply send us your account activation form and we make the switch
• We'll send you a final confirmation email to let you know you can start accepting card payments
