ePOS 5.0: Helping stores continue to grow their eCommerce business

ePOS 5, Sequoia's newest update to its popular eCommerce product, offers a new checkout process, enhanced credit card security, and will help stores fulfill the requirements of the Higher Education Opportunity Act.

The new checkout process offers an interactive system for helping your customers identify missing or incorrectly formatted data before an order is submitted. This feature will simplify processing online orders and will help your store's website continue to be a successful source of revenue for the bookstore.

Credit card validation, including address verification, takes place at the point an order is submitted, drastically reducing the amount of time you need to spend contacting customers about problems with their payment data. Sequoia has also designed ePOS 5 to be compliant with the PA-DSS certification standards. Credit card data is never stored on your eCommerce system, going far beyond conventional credit card encryption methods.

ePOS 5 is also compliant with the Higher Education Opportunity Act requirements, including support for links from your campus registrar, and display of total materials cost per course. The Higher Education Opportunity Act requires that all universities that receive public funding must provide students with accurate course material information, including ISBN and retail price. Using ePOS will help your store provide an online link to the registrar's site, making it easier to provide access to this required information from within your textbook website.

ePOS 5 represents a giant step forward for security standards in the college market. But it also offers other improvements to help you reduce expenses and expand your business. Contact your Sequoia sales representative today for more information on ePOS 5.
