PC Charge
Overview
PC Charge is a software program that takes care of the security of credit/debit cards and checks authorization security aspects. A card processing company would check if the credit card is a valid one or not and thus would confirm or deny the order with the customer. PC Charge is a separate program from the POS and therefore needs to be installed from program files.
NOTE: Verifone is no longer supporting PC Charge, thus we are no longer doing additional development on this product
