Processing with First Data Omaha

Users can configure First Data Omaha processing after purchasing the processor via the Web Store. Any Future POS licenses originally purchased on or prior to January 22, 2014, will be eligible for a free upgrade for PPM if it is upgraded prior to December 31, 2014. After that date, existing customer installations will be charged at regular rates.

Once purchased, the merchant can utilize the direct interface to the First Data Omaha integrated payment processor. Dealers will need to configure First Data Omaha processing for their merchant using the Dealer Portal.
