FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Retail Anywhere Integrates its POS with Mercury Payment Systems

Atascadero, CA., May 22,  2008 – Retail Anywhere, a leader in providing integrated software and services for mid-size retailers, today announced the successful integration of Mercury Payment Systems’ MercuryPay platform with Retail Anywhere’s POS software. 

Mercury Payment Systems is an integrated transaction processing company created to enhance point-of-sale systems by offering credit, debit, check, gift card and loyalty processing.

The Retail Anywhere-Mercury partnership offers two major benefits specifically for Retail Anywhere POS and PC/Register merchants: direct payment processing and free gift card processing.  Retail Anywhere merchants can process payments directly through Retail Anywhere POS with Mercury’s free, fully-integrated software and eliminate the need for third-party processing software and support.  Retail Anywhere customers also save with free MercuryGift™ card transactions, a value that includes unlimited card swipes, balance inquiries, and monthly account maintenance.

Other merchant benefits include free, 24/7 live customer and technical support, web reports and tools, and authorization outage protection.

“The Mercury-Retail Anywhere partnership is a perfect fit because together we can address individual merchant needs, especially those with multiple locations.” said Steve Wilson, Mercury’s vice president of merchant sales. “Combined, we offer a seamless, direct processing solution with all the added value of a paid gift card program and none of the costs.”

“We’re excited to offer our customers an embedded payment processing solution from Mercury Payment Systems,” said Branden Jenkins, CEO of Retail Anywhere.  “Mercury’s enhanced security and ease of integration along with free gift card processing provides great value to our customers.”
