This article is brought to you by Retail Technology Review: YESpay's EasyV-Retail – the perfect choice for Merac's leisure and recreation customers.

Merac Ltd. is a provider of high quality EPOS systems to visitor attractions and bespoke kiosk touchscreen solutions for customer surveys and Hospital/Medical applications. The company has a large customer base that comprises over 400 sports and recreation centres and over 500 locations using their retail systems throughout the UK.

Merac is now able to fast track the deployment of fully integrated Chip and PIN payments with their EPOS system without having to perform any bank accreditation and benefit from YESpay's PCI DSS Level 1 certification. With YESpay's EasyV-Retail linked to its Emboss payment gateway offering features like scalability, 'server and network down' resilience and rapid recovery routines for POS in the event of hardware failure, it became the perfect choice for Merac.

Through Merac, YESpay's EasyV-Retail now caters to various popular visitor attractions like Longleat Enterprises, North Humberland Estates, Bristol Zoo Gardens, Wookey Hole, Kelmscott Manor and Royal Horticulture Society.

This integrated EPOS solution allows these attractions to offer a fast and faultless service to their customers, while effectively serving more customers in less time. Debit or credit card payment checkout is no longer an issue as YESpay's payment service fulfills end-to-end authorisation requests in less than 3-5 seconds. Real time reporting is also available online so that the attractions can keep track of daily payments and reconcile with its EPOS system. Last but not least, YESpay's EasyV-retail is offered with no infrastructure costs and priced at a low monthly fee per EPOS system.

Richard Renwick-Forster, National Sales Manager, YESpay UK, said:  "Our multi-channel offering has been key to supporting Merac customers in taking payment via different verticals. This combined with our authorisation speeds has been key to reducing queues at the attractions." EasyV-Retail is a pre-accredited card payment solution that enables merchants to process EMV Chip & PIN and magnetic credit and debit card payments within seconds via their EPOS systems. It goes beyond simply payments at the POS, enabling unique tokenisation, supporting Dynamic Currency Conversion and Tax-Free Shopping transactions, Gift Cards and Contactless Payments. All in a fully integrated PCI-DSS compliant environment.
