Using Barclaycard ePDQ CPI with our Shopping Cart
ePDQ is Barclaycard's attempt at providing an online payment processing
facility. It comes in two flavors CPI and MPI. Our shopping cart is
compatible with the CPI version. After the customer makes an order they are
redirected to the ePDQ's secure payment server where they can pay with
either a credit or debit card. Advantages:
- Secure payment pages carry the Barclaycard name and logo
-
Protection against fraud with Internet Authentication and fraud control
- Accept orders by telephone, fax and post at no extra cost.
- Compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI
DSS)
- UK based technical support team
Disadvantages
-
ePDQ does not record the description of the item been bought, only
the invoice number and price.
Logging in your ePDQ account to view a transaction means cross
referencing with your own records
to find out what has been
purchased.
-
Their order form is
JavaScript dependent. A customer with JavaScript
disabled in browser would only be
able to view the order form.
They could not actually buy anything.
-
ePDQ tests the customer's browser
string to check the origin of the transaction. Customers using third
party privacy software that hides this information, can connect to the
Barclaycard server
- Compared with other payment processors, it is time
consuming and
difficult to setup.
