Web Capabilities
Consumers increasingly use the web as a medium to interact with merchants and service providers. The convenience and ability to interact whenever and from wherever they choose will continue to be the biggest driving factors. In keeping with this trend, Ernex is committed to leveraging the web as a channel to allow merchants to maximize interactions with their customers. Additionally, we are also dedicated to helping merchants access their program information and perform administrative functions using the web.
Ernex offers two options you can choose from, depending on your needs and operating environment:
Ernex Web Portal
This is a "ready-made" web application that is semi-customizable based on your logo graphics and program details. We provide hosting facilities and manage all aspects of the web functionality. This solution is built for the fastest-to-market, lowest investment and minimal effort required on your part, with limited customization. If you are looking for a fully customized solution, you might decide that our Web API is a better option for your business.
Ernex Web Interface (API)
This option provides the ultimate in flexibility and customization. You host the entire site from your facilities and use our specific web-based transaction instructions to access our database and conduct all necessary activities. You also maintain the same brand look and feel of your existing website. The web API would require some time, effort and investment to develop, but would give you exactly what you want. In this scenario, Ernex will provide detailed technical specifications, development consultations and certification services.
The Ernex Web API currently allows merchants to connect to our database at the most prevalent and highest level of data transmission encryption in use. For more information about our Web API Data Transmission Security Considerations, please review this document.
