What Moneris Merchant Resource Center is
Moneris Merchant Resource Center is a paid browser service for configuring payment processing and administering merchant transactions. The Moneris Gateway Virtual Terminal supports reporting, voids, refunds, recurring billing, gift and loyalty programs, and Vault profiles, with availability determined by store setup and user permissions. Merchants can configure Moneris Checkout and use DirectPost, Hosted Tokenization, and APIs; Hosted Paypage has been discontinued. Transactions can use e355, iPP320, or P400 PIN pads, including an iPP320 paired through Moneris Cloud. Security controls include password rules, security questions, permissions, audit logs, login history, IP restrictions, and automatic logout from 10 to 720 minutes. PCI mode prevents keyed card entry by default and disables card verification, Vault, and recurring functions. JavaScript is required for full functionality. Moneris was founded in 2000 and serves Canadian merchants exclusively. Pricing is available on request.
