4. What is Linkly POS accreditation?
Linkly POS accreditation is the process of certifying that your POS system complies with Linkly’s integration standards. Accreditation ensures your system can securely and reliably process payments through Linkly’s platform, including handling error scenarios and specific features.
5. How do we get accredited?
- Register with Linkly for Accreditation.
- Implement the required integration based on Linkly’s API documentation.
- Submit logs, error-handling scenarios, and passing all mandatory test cases.
- Address any issues raised during testing, and resubmit if necessary.
6. Why should we get accredited?
Accreditation is a requirement for all POS Systems that wish to use a Linkly Integrated device. The accreditation process for new POS software validates that the core payments functionality has been implemented correctly with appropriate error handling. This is to ensure all merchants have a good experience with the Linkly Integrated products.
7. How long does an accreditation take?
Once submitted, accreditation typically takes 5-10 business days, depending on the complexity of the integration and how quickly any issues identified during testing are resolved.
8. Can I integrate with all Linkly solutions?
You can integrate with multiple Linkly solutions (OnPrem, Cloud, MPOS) depending on your use case. Each solution has separate APIs and will require accreditation. A single POS Software can implement all of Linkly’s supported interfaces; however, only one can be used at any given time.
9. Does Linkly support Value Added Applications (VAS)?
Linkly supports a range of VAS solutions to provide additional value to our customers. The specific VAS that may be used depends on the integration type used and can be found in the relevant API specs.
10. Will Linkly provide us with a physical test device, test cards, and test accounts?
Linkly provides a Virtual Pinpad to emulate all behavior from the various production devices. As the POS only communicates with the EFT-Client or REST Gateway, there is no need for a physical test device. Should UAT/PVT be required with a test device, the POS Vendor will need to contact the appropriate acquirer and request.
