MW IVR Unleashed

MW Phone Payments is here!

It is always a nice feeling to release a new payment solution to the public that we have had in beta for a few months. The MW Phone Payments will enable you to accept credit card payments from your customers via phone. It is as simple as placing a biller id and reference number (or invoice number) on a bill and/or letter accompanied by a telephone number that your customer should call to pay their bill.

Merchant Warrior grants you FREE access to 1300 321 PAY and 1800 321 PAY phone words or alternatively you can provide your own 13, 1300 or 1800 number.

As with many other IVR systems you will NOT be required to wait for an emailed report of all phone payments before updating your billing system. The MW Phone Payments platform issues real-time notifications when transactions are processed and in doing so will allow you to update your billing system the second a transaction is processed.

Accept Token Payments via IVR

The most exciting part of our announcement today is that our IVR platform also enables you to accept Token Payments from your customers. Your customers will have a choice of entering their credit card details or a Token ID to pay a phone bill. This feature significantly reduces the time that your customer has to spend keying in numbers into their phone and provides a PCI DSS compliant solution for accepting payments via telephone.

Phone Payment Advantages

  • Automate acceptance of customer over the phone (MOTO) payments
  • Receive notifications in real-time from MW when a transaction has been processed
  • Extra hardware and/or software is not required
  • Multiple routing options for enterprise clients (route to number, route to IP etc)
  • IVR prompts can be customized
  • Accept both credit card and token id’s from customers
  • Validates CVV2

How does it work?

It’s time for a demonstration!

You can trial a simple credit card phone payment by following the instructions below:

To trial the Phone Payments service from your phone please dial: (07) 3166 5439 (Australia) or +61 7 3166 5439 (International).

Cool Gel Mat chooses Merchant Warrior

Summer is coming! And with that in mind we are happy to announce one of our most recent clients –  Cool Gelmat.

Introducing the Cool Gelmat,a special cooling mat that will provide users who struggle with heat issues with comfort and relief especially during the warmer months when many people find it difficult to get a good night’s sleep.

“Anyone trying to keep cool during summer will find relief with the Cool Gelmat, without the electricity bill,” says Nicky Buckley.

How does the Cool Gel Mat work?

The unique heat absorbing gel eliminates excess body heat allowing you to experience cooling relief for up to 2 hours, thus encouraging a comfortable night’s sleep and the opportunity to cool the body and fall asleep more easily.

The Cool Gelmat requires no electricity to stay cool or to recover its cooling ability, so you can enjoy instant relief again and again without ongoing power costs.

Cool Gelmat ambassador Nicky Buckley said the product is great for the whole family, especially during the warmer months; with rising electricity costs many families are wary of how much they switch on the air conditioner.

“Anyone trying to keep cool during summer will find relief with the Cool Gelmat, without the electricity bill,” Nicky said.

“It can be used not only when lying in bed, but also sitting on the couch, at the office, while travelling, or even while doing exercise such as yoga or Pilates.”

“The Cool Gelmat is quite outstanding. Anyone undergoing oncology treatment such as radiation therapy or experiencing the symptoms of multiple sclerosis may benefit from the Cool Gelmats cooling relief.”

What else do I need to know?

The Cool Gelmat comes in three sizes to accommodate different mattresses and a range of uses. These sizes include pillow size to target smaller areas like the head or feet, up to its largest size, which can fit two across on a king size bed.

Cool Gelmat’s manufacturing process is patented which means it is the only one that always stays flat and never goes lumpy – ensuring years of hassle-free cooling relief.

The Cool Gelmat is currently available from Chemmart, National Pharmacies, Pharmores Pharmacies, Bedshed, Snooze, Forty Winks, Sleep Doctor, Dreamland Bedding and Bedroom, Beds’R’us, Home Express, Sleeping Giant, Regal Mattress.

MW Supports Cart66


logo-cart66

MW Integrated with Cart66 – FINALLY!

It has definitely been a long time coming and an integration that has been requested by so many Australian merchants. Cart66 is an eCommerce plugin for the popular blogging software wordpress that enables merchants to “sell electronics, digital downloads, videos, music, web hosting, legal services, collect membership fees, and more.”Cart66

Over the past few months we have had an overwhelming number of requests to have the Merchant Warrior Payment Gateway integrated with the Cart66 plugin. The lack of support for an Australian payment processing option made the extremely flexible and popular Cart66 plugin unusable for many Australian merchants.

We feel extremely lucky to have been contacted by Dante Chichizola @dchichizola a senior web developer from Macintype Design who registered his interest in integrating the Merchant Warrior Payment Gateway into the Cart66 plugin.

Thanks to the efforts of Dante an Australian payment option finally exists for the Cart66 plugin! The plugin can be found at the Merchant Warrior Developer Zone or by clicking here.

We will be contacting the great team at Cart66 to have the plugin available with the professional version of the plugin. We understand they are extremely busy but do hope we manage to get this merged into their development cycle in time for their next release.

MW & Magento… Finally!


We know that it has been a long time coming but we have finally got there. Our merchants have been asking us for an integration module into the one of the world’s most popular open source eCommerce stores – Magento and finally they have it.

What is Magento?

“Magento is a feature-rich, professional open-source eCommerce solution that offers merchants complete flexibility and control over the look, content, and functionality of their online store. Magento’s intuitive administration interface contains powerful marketing, merchandising and content management tools to give merchants the power to create sites that are tailored to their unique business needs. Completely scalable and backed by an extensive support network, Magento offers companies the ultimate eCommerce solution.”Magento

Magento & MW – How?

As those of you who have integrated with Merchant Warrior in the past will already know – we like to keep it simple. The Merchant Warrior Developer Zone has been updated to include a Magento 1.5+ module that includes instructions on how to install the module and enable your Magento shopping cart to accept online payments via the Merchant Warrior Payment Gateway.

Merchant Warrior & Magento are a powerful combination that merchants should consider, whether they be searching the market for the right shopping cart or looking to take their current eCommerce platform to the next level.
