FreedomPay announced the integration of Microsoft Dynamics 365 with its PCI-validated commerce platform. The Dynamics 365 integration marks a multi-year strategy to deploy a commerce platform that delivers world-class security, seamless connectivity to the point-of-sale and real-time data availability with the global scale and accessibility of the Azure cloud platform. Microsoft and FreedomPay’s collaboration has resulted in the first Azure hosted commerce platform that seamlessly connects online, mobile and in-store point-of-sale networks with a PCI-validated payment gateway which provides point-to-point encryption with EMV, NFC and tokenization support. The platform delivers end-to-end protection for all credit card transactions and is certified for EMV with the major payment processors enabling merchants to bypass their own EMV certification processes and benefit from reduced Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) scope. Further, the Azure hosted solution allows for rapid deployment and scalability based on merchants’ payment volumes and global commerce footprint.
