YESpay International Limited: YESpay Announces a North American Strategic Alliance with Tee-On Golf Systems Inc.

Tee-On Golf Systems’ Point of Sale (POS) software is now integrated with YESpay’s EMV Chip and PIN accredited and PCI-DSS Level 1 certified managed payment service called EMBOSS.

Already validated for EasyV-Internet(YESpay’s e-commerce payment solution), Tee-On’s POS is now able to process magnetic swipe and EMV Chip and Pin cards using YESpay’s EasyV-Retail solution. Integrated with EasyV-Retail, Tee-On’s POS now constitutes a unique proposition for inventory management as well as EMV Chip and PIN and magnetic stripe credit and debit card acceptance, processing payments for golf clubs operating facilities of all sizes.

Merchants running Tee-On’s POS software can process and settle transactions securely with their chosen card acquirer such as Chase Paymentech and First Data Merchant Services (FDMS) via YESpay's pre-accredited and PCI-DSS certified EMBOSS payment service. All major EMV credit and debit cards are supported with the EasyV-Retail solution including Visa, Mastercard, Interac, Maestro, Amex, Diners and more. EasyV-Retail also supports on-line PIN validation for both Canadian Interac debit card transactions as well as US magnetic debit transactions.

Canadian merchants will have to upgrade their existing Point of Sale systems to be able to handle EMV Chip and PIN card transactions before the liability shift date of March 2011. The only way merchants can achieve this, with the help of POS providers like Tee-On Golf, is by using YESpay’s unique outsourced EMBOSS payment solution, fully PCI-DSS certified and EMV accredited. Indeed, because EMBOSS service is fully pre-certified with various card acquirers, and because the integration of YESpay payment software with POS software is completed in a matter of weeks, it is the quickest route to market to meet those merchants’ requirements seamlessly.

As Harry Morge, National Sales Manager at YESpay explains, “This is yet another step proving that YESpay is helping merchants beat the liability shift deadline enabling them to seamlessly accept integrated EMV card payments. One of the significant drivers for merchants to choose YESpay is a comprehensive offering, that includes free real-time online reporting tool, free tokenization for recurring billing and still insulates merchants and POS from any sensitive cardholder details! We are proud to help Tee-On Golf Systems Inc. provide their merchants with such a solution, and we will announce other partnerships of this kind soon because more and more POS providers understand the value of YESpay hosted EMBOSS solution.”

Integration took less than 4 weeks, and Tee-On used our free toolkit and support to perform this comprehensive integration. Through Tee-On Golf, EMBOSS relieves golf clubs from deploying and maintaining an expensive in-house payment solution as well as undergoing formal lengthy end-to-end bank testing and managing PCI-DSS compliance. Outsourcing payment processing to YESpay considerably cuts the costs associated with bank accreditation and PCI-DSS compliance. Moreover, by using YESpay’s solution, merchants only have to pay a low monthly fee while there is no major upfront capital expenditure. This makes Tee-On Golf POS integrated with EasyV-Retail a ready to use, “off the shelf‟ product that can actually be rolled out in a retail environment in a matter of days.

Since 2001, Tee-On has successfully helped hundreds of club managers in Canada and US. Tee-On chose to integrate with EMBOSS in order to offer to its customers a secure, pre-accredited payment service at a low monthly cost.
Tom Condon, President of Tee-On Golf Systems Inc. comments “We were searching for a cross-border and EMV compliant payment solution for our customers in North America and have been impressed by the uniqueness of YESpay’s payment architecture, which completely insulates merchants from cardholder details. Tee-On is now integrated with YESpay, for e-commerce and card–present transactions, offering golf clubs a low cost PCI-DSS compliant solution helping them prepare for the upcoming EMV deadline."
