HIXSON, TN, October 28, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Total Merchant Services, a provider of credit card processing equipment and services has announced the release of a new credit card terminal program specifically designed for smaller segments of the lodging industry, including hotel and motels with less than 100 rooms, bed and breakfasts and cabin rentals etc.

According to the company the software has been designed to support the Verifone Vx570 terminal and emulates many features found on expensive point-of-sales systems including reservation; quick check in/out; alternate card on check in; quick stay function and the ability to put incidental charges on a separate card. Regional Sales Manager Marc Kenyon stated "although the terminal looks just like any other retail terminal it operates much differently with the new program. Lodging merchants that have tried it are really pleased that they can do business they way they want to, instead of trying to make a standard retail terminal fit their needs."

The company furnishes the credit card machine fully programmed and ready to use upon receipt at no charge upon enrollment for a credit card merchant account. They also provide an initial telephone training session, toll free technical support and a 24 hour swap-out program.
