What happened to POS-Partner?
POS-Partner offered automated authorization and capture software, for which ECi DDMS wrote the Approval Link 2.0 interface. However, after being acquired first by Vital® and then by TSYS®, POS-Partner began announcing the termination of its support in July 2009. Effective Feb. 1, 2010, TSYS will no longer support transactions generated from POS-partner applications on TSYS boarding or processing platforms. On that date, TSYS will close any records that indicate POS-partner is still the application of record used by any merchant, which will result in the merchant’s transactions being rejected by the TSYS processing platform. By Feb. 1, 2010, it is imperative that every DDMS dealer who has been using POS-Partner migrate to a different solution. Failure to do so will result in failure to process credit card transactions. Please choose from one of the newer versions of Approval Link.
