DC Direct™

DC Direct is a semi-integrated solution which embeds payments logic into payment device(s) to facilitate a direct communication between the device and NETePay Hosted™. No Datacap hardware or software is necessary. The POS simply initiates a request through an HTTP or HTTPS POST and DC Direct captures customer cardholder data and securely sends it to Datacap's NETePay Hosted platform. DC Direct offers an optional Standalone non-integrated mode for use cases which require a Standalone payment terminal.







Once connected to the internet, the DC Direct device is ready to receive payment requests from the POS. The POS terminal communicates over the local, in-store network to the DC Direct device using an HTTP request. The DC Direct device prompts the customer for payment, collects cardholder data, and makes an outgoing HTTPS request to NETePay Hosted. From there, the request is routed to a backend processor for authorization, and the response flows back to the POS terminal.

DC Direct supports two communication methods: Local and Server POST. Local POST allows for local communication to DC Direct via HTTP POST with Store and Forward capabilities. Server POST allows for communication via HTTPS POST to our cloud environment.



To configure DC Direct:

For server communication to the pad it is important to note communication between the service and device is done on TCP port 5080, so any installations need to make sure that port is open in their firewall.

Refer to the DC Direct set-up guide for PIN pad specific set-up instructions.













DC Direct™ has an optional Standalone mode. Standalone is non-integrated and allows the merchant to take payments by manually entering transactions on the payment device. Toggle between Semi-integrated and Standalone mode on demand.

DC Direct Standalone is supported on the following payment devices:

Additional features may require deployment setup/configuration in PSCS.
