StoreNext and Chase Paymentech Roll Out Payment Processing For Connected Payments

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--StoreNext Retail Technologies LLC, a subsidiary of Retalix (Nasdaq: RTLX); and Chase Paymentech Solutions, LLC have signed a referral agreement that enables merchants to access payment transaction processing services via StoreNext’s recently-announced Connected Payments program.

“It’s got all the right ingredients – no up front license charges, immediate ROI, no waiting for new features, and PCI compliance – to squarely address the serious problem of upward-spiraling interchange and processing fees.”

Connected Payments is designed to help independent grocers slash electronic payments fees by 25 percent or more while eliminating up-front software license costs and maintenance charges. Merchants implementing such key features as credit-to-debit conversion, signature capture and electronic check conversion will potentially generate $10-$20 in savings for every dollar of Connected Payments subscription fees.

Chase Paymentech, ranked #1 by the Nilson report based on 2006 volume of Visa and Mastercard purchases processed, is one of a select group of payment processors in the grocery industry to provide improved processing rates on debit, credit, EBT and other payment options to Connected Payments subscribers. The Connected Payments solution was created and is operated by StoreNext in partnership with payments software vendor MTXEPS, Inc.

“Chase Paymentech’s end-to-end payment expertise and reputation for best-in-class service, coupled with Connected Payments’ powerful suite of payment technologies, is a winning combination for independent grocers and regional chains,” said Peter Gasparro, group executive, partnership programs at Chase Paymentech. “We’re looking forward to helping independent grocers drive costs out of their operations and unlock value by accepting the right combination of payment methods.”

“This breakthrough program should have unequaled appeal to the independent grocer community,” said Ray Carlin, president and CEO of StoreNext. “It’s got all the right ingredients – no up front license charges, immediate ROI, no waiting for new features, and PCI compliance – to squarely address the serious problem of upward-spiraling interchange and processing fees.”

Connected Payments can be used in conjunction with StoreNext’s Connected Services program, which provides independent grocers access to Internet-based enterprise applications via a low monthly subscription.
