What is Payment Security?

Payment security is the term used for all methods of keeping customer payment data safe when making a purchase or sale at a restaurant.

Payment Security means protecting sensitive data such as credit card numbers and personal customer information against fraud, theft, and other unauthorized use, both in the restaurant and online.

How Payment Security Works

The customer's information is securely transmitted via encryption during the entire transaction process at both the POS and in the payment gateway once payment has been made.

During this process, sensitive card information is replaced by secure tokens using tokenization technology.

Several tools work together to help prevent systems from being compromised, including the use of secure hardware, the frequent updating of systems, and access help prevent breaches.

Together, these tools create an environment that provides customers with a secure and reliable experience during their transaction and help to mitigate the risk to the restaurant of being financially impacted and reputational risks.
