COMSTAR INTERACTIVE LAUNCHES PAYMENT GATEWAY PLUG-IN

Comstar Interactive is pleased to announce the release of the Comstar Payment Gateway Plug-In, which integrates into QuickBooks® Pro, QuickBooks Premier and QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions for versions 2005 and 2006. The Comstar Plug-in will enable merchants, utilizing their existing processor, to process credit card payments directly from their QuickBooks interface. The Comstar Plug-In will help merchants manage their business more efficiently—saving them valuable time, money, and resources; at the same time allowing ISOs the ability to retain ownership of the merchant using QuickBooks.

This Comstar Plug-In enables your merchant to:
· Process payments directly from their QuickBooks Interface through the Comstar Payment Gateway (CPG)
· Import wireless transactions from the CPG into QuickBooks
· Process Sales, Returns and Voids –payments are automatically created and applied to invoices.
· Process through any front end that Comstar supports – First Data Omaha, CHASE Paymentech,Global Payments, TSYS (formally Vital), Concord/Buypass.

“We are very excited to be launching the Comstar Payment Gateway Plug-In – our ISO have been telling us of the market demand for this product for quite a while. A merchant that has QuickBooks– will now be able to process payments via credit cards directly from the Comstar Plug-In, using any processor that our Gateway is certified on! And like any other Comstar product, you set the price and Comstar can do the billing, collection and remit 100% of the commission to the ISO.” Said James P. Dugan, CFO of Comstar Interactive.

Comstar is one of the first to come to market with this type of product that interfaces with QuickBooks. In 2001 more than 12 million small businesses were using computers in the U.S. (TowerGroup, 2001). Nearly three million small businesses used QuickBooks and 80 percent of those wanted QuickBooks to integrate with their other software and devices (QuickBooks 2000 User Study).

All Comstar ISO’s will be able to offer the Comstar Payment Gateway Plug-In to all Merchants.
