accounting systems to access the same reliable and powerful payment
processing services offered by AssureBuy to Internet merchants.
AssureBuy services can be easily customized to provide the exact level of
functionality desired by an individual seller. From credit card processing and
risk management to tax calculation and remote integration, a seller may

processing solution, or use the entire suite, which works seamlessly to
provide a robust, feature rich solution offering high-availability, reliability and

AssureBuy offers its IntegriCharge® service, which is capable of securely
collecting and validating billing, shipping and payment information from
buyers using a normal web browser.
