Kosmos Central Announces Gift Card Payment Gateway for Online Stores

Kosmos Central's Gift Card Payment Gateway incorporates an online store with a gift card payment option

Portland, OR (PRWEB) November 15, 2006 -- Kosmos Central (http://www.kosmoscentral.com) introduces a Gift Card Payment Gateway (http://www.kosmoscentral.com/ecommerce/services/gift-cards.phpsolution) compatible with X-Cart and retailers with or without New West Technology Web Integrator for Microsoft's Retail Management System (RMS) (http://www.kosmoscentral.com/ecommerce/rms-shopping-cart/). This new technology streamlines buying and using gift cards online.

Using the gift card gateway, retailers can now incorporate an online-store with a Valutec gift card option.

The technology is simple. RMS receives the gift card purchase, which are then shipped out by the store. The recipients may then make purchases online and in the retail store, as if they were using a credit card.

In 2005, the gift card market went through the roof. American consumers spent more than $55 billion on gift cards last year*, signifying a dramatic consumer trend. Previously, gift cards were only available for use at physical retail locations. Integrating gift cards as an online payment option allows consumers more flexibility.

Kosmos Central also offers custom options for the Gift Card Payment Gateway.
