Vindicia Enhances CashBox for Online Merchants

Enhanced to meet the ever-expanding needs of today's online merchants, the new features include:

• Integration with payment processor Global Collect: The combination of CashBox and Global Collect provides merchants with access to global payment methods. The initial integration will support North American and European credit and debit cards along with Boleto Bancario in Brazil.
• Metering: In addition to providing traditional "time-based" subscription billing models, CashBox now enables online merchants to support pricing plans based on usage, such as paying for specific numbers of downloads of a movie service, as well as more complex metering capabilities, such as auto refill of game tokens.
• Increased support for Chase Paymentech Account Updater: Account Updater is now enabled for both Europe and North America and automatically provides VISA and MasterCard cardholder account updates relating to upgrades, card expirations and account closures, increasing authorization approvals and customer retention by several percentage points or more.

With this release, merchants also have the ability to create payment processing routing rules, auto-cancel subscriptions if chargebacks occur, and optimize sales tax calculations based on billing or shipping address information.

"Like many expanding online communities, we needed to address the challenges inherent in a global network and a rapid expansion," said Rich Scott, CFO of Online Buddies. "With Vindicia CashBox we benefit from a billing solution that works seamlessly behind the scenes to handle the complexities that come with supporting diverse payment methods around the world, and one with the power to scale in parallel with our business."

"Building and maintaining a loyal, satisfied customer base is job one for all online merchants," said Gene Hoffman, chairman and CEO of Vindicia. "This latest CashBox release supports our merchants to that end by offering a compelling infrastructure on which to serve their own customers. We handle over 140,000 transactions per day and we continue to work closely with our merchants to ensure that our billing solution optimizes their customer acquisition and retention techniques."

The latest version of Vindicia CashBox is available immediately, with the exception of the metering support which is in limited beta and will be available in January. Pricing starts at $2,000 per month and is based on transactions processed and total online revenue.
