OrderDynamics Announces Level 1 PCI Compliant Solutions with Hosted PCI Integration

OrderDynamics, Canada’s leading On-Demand eCommerce Platform provider delivers Clients 100% continuous Level 1 PCI compliant solutions by integrating Hosted PCI with its eCommerce SaaS Platform.

With increased pressure on Retailers to become Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliant, OrderDynamics announces the ability to deliver Level 1 PCI compliant solutions, the highest possible rating for eCommerce Service Providers. PCI-DSS is a multifaceted security standard that includes intensive merchant requirements for security management, policies, procedures, network architecture, software design and other critical protective measures centered on protecting credit card data.

This new core platform integration with Hosted PCI combines their powerful Payment Vault Tokenization technology with the OrderDynamics On-Demand eCommerce Platform. Retailers can now enjoy worry-free PCI compliance without compromising front-end flexibility, or backend integration options.

Through the utilization of Hosted PCI Tokenization, OrderDynamics merchants still benefit from critical features such as Re-ordering, Auto-Shipping, Credit Card Wallet, Call Center, Returns, and Order Management. OrderDynamics merchants will also benefit from 100% credit card breach indemnity as no sensitive card holder data ever enters the merchants environment.

OrderDynamics has also integrated the Hosted PCI Call Center IVR (Integrated Voice Response) system, removing the need for merchant call center staff from having to take credit card numbers over the phone, a necessity when running high volume eCommerce websites. With the Hosted PCI Call Center IVR enabled, shoppers are able to enter their credit card data into their telephone which returns a token to the call center agent who in turn enters the token into the OrderDynamics call center checkout page when processing telephone sales and service requests.

“By integrating Hosted PCI into our core platform payment stack and call center, OrderDynamics can deliver solutions that meet the highest level of PCI compliance without the traditional costs Retailers face” explains Michael Benadiba, CEO of OrderDynamics. “In our experience, many merchants need all the help they can get in the area of PCI compliance and we believe this solution does just that” Continues Benadiba.

“The seamlessness of the integration being offered with the OrderDynamics platform gives merchants a quick and easy way to achieve PCI compliance, no matter what level of processing requirements they’re held to” says Saurabh Soman, Co-Founder of Hosted PCI. “This solution not only saves the merchant money through expediting the compliance process, but also significantly reduces merchant costs to maintain compliance each year” Continues Soman.

OrderDynamics completed the integration as part of their Q2 platform release.

OrderDynamics Delivers Content that Sells through Agility CMS Integration

Toronto, ON - OrderDynamics and Agility CMS have recently partnered to deliver enterprise content management solutions for content rich eCommerce websites. The solution is designed to solve common content management limitations experienced by enterprises, publishers, and media websites that continue to ask for tight integration between their eCommerce platform and their Content Management System (CMS). When these systems are not integrated, the merchant is limited in their ability to create “content that sells”, unable to leverage important merchandising features of their ecommerce platform when publishing content.

Agility CMS is a flexible and highly customizable content management platform for enterprises and currently powers impressive websites such as Oprah Winfrey Network, Shoppers Drug Mart, World Fishing Network, and Cineplex. Agility CMS deploys as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and has robust features such as articles, blogs, forums, videos, approval workflows, template management, content syndication, social media, user generated content, and more. By integrating the two presentation technologies, merchants now have the ability to tie eCommerce content directly to the content published within Agility CMS.

“There are many online merchants that have significant content requirements that go way beyond the scope of a typical retail website” explains Michael Turcsanyi, President of OrderDynamics. “These merchants need seamless delivery of all content and want to harness the merchandising and selling power of their eCommerce platform on their content pages”. Continues Turcsanyi. Since Agility CMS content is hosted on the OrderDynamics on-demand eCommerce platform, these content pages can utilize powerful Dynamic Merchandising features such as product linking, dynamic product display, pricing, related items, ratings and reviews, recommendations, and more. This saves the merchant time and ties the otherwise static content directly into the selling process.

“The solution that we’ve delivered together is truly a best-of-both-worlds scenario for the merchant” says Michael Assad, CEO of Agility CMS. “There are a lot of synergies between Agility and OrderDynamics which has made this an exciting partnership”. Continues Assad. The two providers began initial partnership talks in 2010 and have already delivered the solution with two clients and have another project in progress.
