Creditcall's Payment Gateway Simplifies Migration To EMV For TableSafe's Full-Service Restaurants mPOS Solution

TableSafe’s pay at-the-table technology migrates to EMV ahead of October Liability Shift and protects card holder data with P2PE using Creditcall’s Payment Gateway

Creditcall, the EMV-ready payment gateway provider and EMV migration specialist, has been selected by TableSafe to enable EMV chip card payments and Point to Point Encryption (P2PE) for the company’s pay-at-the-table solution for full-service restaurants. This partnership ensures U.S. restaurants using the solution will be EMV compliant ahead of the Liability Shift in October 2015, as well as be prepared to embrace new payment methods in the future. 

CardEaseXML has been integrated into the TableSafe solution, which is comprised of a handheld device housed inside a traditional bill presentation folder. It allows customers to securely self-insert credit, debit or chip enabled cards as well as auto-calculate the tip, split the bill, pay by item and order email receipts. The units are integrated with restaurants’ existing Point of Sale (POS) systems, extending their POS capability to the table whilst also increasing the efficiency of staff and improving customer satisfaction. Customers can utilize the system to effectively self-checkout of the restaurant.

TableSafe’s Mobile Point of Sale (mPOS) functionality uses Creditcall’s CardEaseXML, an Application Programming Interface (API) with which EMV chip card acceptance can be added to virtually any payment device. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) based protocol exposes all the payment transaction features of Creditcall’s EMV-ready payment gateway. It can be integrated by either using one of Creditcall’s Software Development Kits (SDKs) which implement the protocol and provide a simple programmatic API, or by directly integrating the underlying XML protocol. All XML messaging and secure communication is handled via Transport Layer Security (TLS). 

“As restaurants update their technology to become EMV compliant they also want to ensure they are future proofed against the constant evolution of payment solutions,” said Joe Snell, CEO of TableSafe. “Creditcall’s integration into our pay-at-the-table technology enables exactly that. We have been impressed by the close and highly-effective working relationship with Creditcall and by the service they provide.”

“The October 2015 EMV Liability Shift is a huge problem for those businesses that have yet to react to the changes. If they fail to do so they will become liable for the cost caused by fraudulent payment activity,” said Jeremy Gumbley, CTO of Creditcall “By integrating our technology into their pay-at-the-table payment offering, TableSafe are making it easy for full-service restaurants to meet the deadline in time with a highly secure, innovative and future-proofed solution that also improves the service experience for customers.”
