Las Vegas, Aug. 30, 2016 -- Shift4 Corporation today announced it has released a new software update that adds support for multiple quick chip EMV solutions, including Visa Quick Chip for EMV, Mastercard M/Chip Fast, Amex Quick Chip and Discover Quick Chip. As one of the first payment gateways to support quick chip functionality, Shift4 continues to deliver timely solutions to merchants' most vexing payments issues.
Quick chip functionality alleviates the consumer's perceived wait time by allowing shoppers to remove their EMV chip cards a few seconds after inserting their card while the clerk continues to scan items. Once the final item is scanned, the approval process can proceed without the card in the payment device.
The introduction of quick chip EMV provides many improvements to the point-of-purchase experience for both merchants and consumers, including:
J.D. Oder II, CTO and SVP - R&D of Shift4, said:
"When we learned about quick chip, we wanted to be first out of the gate with support for this solution to a problem that has been annoying merchants and consumers since the advent of U.S. EMV -- and we were! Shift4 certified the same day the card brands started offering certifications. With the vast number of EMV certifications and device/processor pairings that Shift4 supports, we are excited to offer this feature to thousands of merchants. We are certain that this will alleviate a great deal of frustration at the point of purchase."
