10 PAYMENT AND TICKET COLLECTION Money Flow Easily, securely manage money at every stage and get tickets to customers fast! CUSTOMER The customer buys a ticket $ TICKET ISSUED DataTrax POS The seller enters payment info into POS device PAYMENT APPROVED $ GATEWAY $ PAYMENT APPROVED DataTrax HOST Payment information is vetted/ secured $ TOUR COMPANY Ticket and customer information goes to transportation/tour company MONEY FLOW: The customer presents their payment (credit card) to the sales agent. The terminal (handheld POS device, mobile app, etc.) pushes that information to the host (DataTrax s backend). That information (about the payment and customer) flows through the gateway. From the gateway, the quick approval process verifies the credit card. That information is sent to the host before being forwarded to the terminal, signalling it to print a ticket for the customer. All of this activity happens in seconds! The gateway moves money to your company account to ensure the customer gets their ticket and you receive payment. DataTrax s backend gathers all the information to let tour operators see full reports and track their business. 10 DataTrax: Built by Tour Operators for Tour Operators
