Worldnet Completes First Level 3 Certification of ID Tech's VP8300 To First Data

Dublin, Ireland, 17 April 2018:  Worldnet, a leading provider of omnichannel payment solutions and ID TECH, the global leader in payment peripheral technology have completed the first Level 3 certification through First Data for ID TECH’s new VP8300 countertop payment solution. The VP8300 incorporates secure MagStripe, EMV® contact and EMV® contactless payment technologies such as MasterCard PayPass, Visa PayWave as well as ApplePay and GooglePay.

With the certification, Worldnet provides ISVs (independent software vendors) with a pre-certified payment path to EMV® compliance. Working with Worldnet, ISVs can reduce the typical lead time to develop and certify an EMV® compliant POS solution from many months to a matter of days.

The Worldnet Omni-channel Payment Platform supports ID TECH’s EMV® products, including the VP8300, a customer-facing countertop reader that ensures all magnetic stripe, EMV® contact and EMV® contactless transactions are encrypted and secure before data is transmitted to the host device. Combined with Worldnet’s technology, ID TECH’s VP8300 hardware can easily process transactions from any channel via First Data’s payments network.

“Our ‘GoChip’ payment solution, combined with ID TECH’s VP8300 hardware, provides ISVs with a pre-certified payment path that makes the transition to EMV® quick, cost-effective and seamless,” said John Clarke, Head of Product Innovation at Worldnet. “This certification provides a solution for key players in the POS industry, such as ISVs, to address their EMV® challenges. The VP8300 is the perfect solution for ISVs that need to support the latest payment capabilities without the additional overhead, complexity and cost of a full PinPad payment device.”

Worldnet supports traditional desktop POS as well as iOS and Android operating systems for mobile and tablet POS merchants and is available for Windows Desktop, iOS, Android, and Java.

“ID TECH’s newest generation of payments hardware provides our customers with the most secure, quickest option to accept EMV® payments via contact or contactless payment methods,” said Bill Rorick, VP of Business Development at ID TECH. “Completing the certification with Worldnet and First Data provides our customers with the most cost-effective way to present an omnichannel payment infrastructure.”
