In the last few years, CardConnect has gone through several exciting changes. We’ve rebranded, relocated, and patented our tokenization process. And now, we’re happy to announce yet another new development—the launch of the CardConnect Merchant Center!

Merchant Center

It’s been tough for us to keep this quiet while our developers were hard at work perfecting the look, feel and functionality of our Merchant Center, but we’re pleased to say that after much anticipation, it’s ready to go.

So, what is the CardConnect Merchant Center? Quite simply, it’s a portal for merchants to view all of their payment processing data – deposits, authorizations, settlements, funding, chargebacks and statements – without having to log into the archaic reporting tools offered by other processing companies. Let’s take a tour.

Alerts

On the first page of the Merchant Center is a section for alerts. This is where your monthly statement announcement will appear, as well as any chargebacks or other time-sensitive information related to your account.
