How It Works
Payments Partner® uses North's Browser Post technology to process payments securely:
• Your customer enters payment details in the branded checkout form • Card or bank data is sent directly to North's secure servers — never through your application • North processes the transaction and returns the result in real time • The payment status is communicated back to your account instantly
Security Note: Sensitive payment data (card numbers, CVV, bank account numbers) is transmitted directly from the customer's browser to North's secure servers via Browser Post. This data never passes through or is stored on Payments Partner® servers, minimizing your PCI compliance scope.
Features
• Dual Payment Methods — Accept both card and ACH from a single checkout form. • Secure Processing — PCI-DSS compliant. Sensitive data never touches your servers. • ACH / Pay-by-Bank — Lower-cost bank transfers with NACHA-compliant WEB authorization. • Real-Time Processing — Instant authorization with approval or decline in seconds. • Transaction Reporting — Track all payments through your dashboard and North's Payments Hub. • Refund Support — Process full or partial refunds for both card and ACH transactions.
