Alternate Acquirer

Pre-Existing Merchant Accounts

Using Your Own Merchant Account for Credit Cards

We recognize that some businesses may have a pre-existing solution for credit card processing.  This scenario continues to provide integration with your ChildWatch® account.

In order to accommodate this scenario, instead of using both our acquirer and gateway, you will use only our gateway to process CC transactions.  Your existing acquirer will need to build a "var sheet" for one of the following compatible acquirers:

  • First Data (Nashville)
  • Elavon (Nova)
  • Tsys (Vital)
  • Vantiv (IBM)
Pre-Existing Merchant Accounts for childcare software payments processing

 

Note that this option applies for credit cards only.  If you wish to accept eChecks as well, you will need to open an RSI merchant account for eCheck only.

  • Keep Your Existing Account
  • Unchanged Procedures
  • No Processing Delays

 

The more ways you provide for parents to pay their bills, the more likely you will get paid on-time!  Combined with eServices, our ePay service allows your clients to pay from multiple accounts using any computer or mobile device at their convenience.

ePay is fully integrated with your ChildWatch® account.  Each transaction posts directly to the client ledger and updates the balance to provide detailed transaction reporting.
