Services
Cloud9 Payment Gateway
Cloud9 is essentially a multi-merchant/multi processor switch. Cloud9 reduces the complexity of direct processor and payment terminal programming, certification and compliance by presenting a simple unified interface to the developer with numerous interface options. The core communications are conducted via TLS/SOAP/JSON with wrappers in C/C++/Java, if desired.
Back-Office Reporting Gateway
Cloud9 has a full suite of Back Office Reporting, which can be extended and scripted.
Payment Device Controller (PDC)
Optional Payment Device Controller (PDC) hides the complexity of low level communications with the payment terminals and adds the Store and Forward functionality, if desired. Variations of Payment Device Controller are Payment Mobile Controller (PMC) and Payment Web Controller (PWC) to deal with mobile and web based payment processing functionality respectively.
