ePDQ Cardholder Payment Interface (CPI) - Easy-to-use technology for secure internet trading.
ePDQ CPI is our end-to-end solution for doing business over the internet. It is a world-class, secure online service for card payment authorisation and settlement that lets you trade online quickly, easily and safely. It's flexible, reliable, and straight forward to integrate.
When a customer chooses goods or services from your website and proceeds to checkout, they are directed to the ePDQ CPI secure payment environment, where they can pay by debit or credit card. ePDQ CPI automates and completes the transaction - and your staff can then fulfil the customer's order.
Your online store is linked to Barclaycard Business secure payment pages, which capture your customers' card details in real time. We then process the transactions with the bank, handle settlement, and provide you with online management information and regular statements for all your online transactions.
