Since 1994, The First Data Global Gateway has been providing point of sale equipment gateway services to credit card processing companies and merchant account providers like InstaMerchant.  With over a decade of experience they know exactly what merchants are looking for when designing their products.

If you are looking to accept credit cards then the First Data Global Gateway has a product for you.  The most popular product is the First Data Global Gateway.  It allows merchants who have an Internet merchant account to accept credit cards securely from their website.  It also provides a virtual terminal that is accessed through the First Data Global Gateway that allows merchants to run transactions manually without having to purchase any processing equipment.  Merchants can set their websites up to accept credit cards either through adding some simple html scripts to their site or with the First Data Global Gateway API.

A popular product for retail businesses is the First Data Global Gateway 50.  This credit card machine is both a terminal and printer.  It is extremely user friendly and guides you through the entire transaction with ease its the product of choice for many types of merchant accounts.

The FD400  is a wireless credit card machine.  It is designed for merchants that need to be mobile and who need to take their business to the customer.  Many types of service businesses use the FD400 such as; taxi companies, pest control services, flea market merchants, etc.  The FD400 works much like a mobile phone and does not need to be plugged into a traditional telephone line in order to work.  Anywhere in the coverage area the merchant is able to run transactions wirelessly.  The terminal is great because it has everything built into it that is needed.  It has both a terminal and printer so customers can swipe their card and sign the receipt at the point of sale.  In addition, the terminal has a built in pin pad to run debit transactions if they elect for that service.  It´s a very wise choice for merchants who have purchased the FD400 to sign up for debit service.  The reason is because they don´t have to purchase any extra equipment and debit transactions cost them less than credit transactions.

The FD50  is a great credit card machine for merchants who want a low cost terminal.. Although most mail and phone order merchants choose an Internet merchant account because there is no equipment to buy, some choose to run their transactions through an FD50.  This terminal is also ideal for quick serve restaurants that don´t have large average transactions sizes.  Because the transactions are generally small they don´t need to worry about getting a signature to help prevent chargebacks.  It is more advantageous to them to move their customers through as quickly as possible and not tie up valuable time getting a signature from their customers.
