Turning Point of Sale Into Point of Profit.

Prepaid Technology
Alliance Data, the leader in point of sale technology and processing solutions, has created a Prepaid Services transaction processing network uniquely designed to deliver the largest variety of value-added products and services to retailers. Our solution provides a technology bridge between retailers and suppliers of electronic and stored value products, enabling retailers to drive store traffic, top line revenue and profit through the activation and reloading of a variety of prepaid products and services, including wireless PINS, prepaid long distance cards, 3rd party gift cards and prepaid bankcards.

Bringing Prepaid Services to the POS MicroPortal™For stand alone POS devices, the delivery and management of value-added products is enabled via a revolutionary software technology called MicroPortal™.  MicroPortal™ technology facilitates the addition of new products and services without the need to modify POS software, and can co-exist with your current applications.  New products and services are easily enabled at the POS by choosing options available on our website.  MicroPortal™ technology automatically synchronizes the POS system to match the configurations programmed via the web, eliminating the need for costly software changes and expensive deployments.

Integrated Register SystemsOur Prepaid Services suite of transactions have been included in Alliance Data’s Integrated Register System specifications (Z01 and ISO 8583), allowing retailers to truly integrate the processing of prepaid products and services into the register and, more importantly, their back office system.  This integrated solution allows retailers to sell prepaid products and services like any other product in their store while minimizing operational risks.

For RetailersOur Prepaid Services Solution transforms the POS into a revenue generator.  Retailers use a single, consistent POS interface across multiple product suppliers and distributors, enabling the flexibility to add and remove products and services to best suit their customer’s needs.  With the flexibility of our solution, retailers can begin selling products as soon as a supplier makes them available, without waiting for costly POS system modifications and deployments every time a product is added or removed.

For Product Suppliers and Distributors
Distributors and suppliers benefit from Alliance Data’s Prepaid Services transaction processing by using the network as a conduit for the delivery and management of their product offerings at a retailer’s POS.  Suppliers and distributors can focus efforts on product mix, merchandising and increasing store traffic, leaving the technology implementation to Alliance Data.  Our robust reporting services, simplifies tracking and reconciliation for the retailer, supplier and distributor.
