Merchant payment acceptance, every channel

Every way
to get paid.

QR code, phone-number requests, embeddable payment buttons and tap-to-phone - one merchant portal, one bank console.

WHAT IT IS

What AcceptCore is.

AcceptCore is INM's merchant payment-acceptance platform. It gives merchants multiple ways to get paid - QR code, payment requests to a phone number, embeddable payment buttons for their own website (with PHP and JavaScript integration examples), and SoftPOS / Tap-to-Phone acceptance on certified Android devices - behind one merchant portal for transactions, sales, users, acceptance points and API keys. A companion bank-side console onboards, configures and supports every merchant and acceptance point. None of this asks the bank to rearrange its plumbing. The core in production and the market's own payment network are both reached through adapters, and no particular processor or switch is taken for granted.

THE PLATFORM

Acceptance, screen by screen.

WHY IT MATTERS

Get paid the way
your customers pay.

Merchants get paid however their customers want to pay - in person, by phone, by QR code, or through their own website - while the bank runs one console to onboard, configure and support every merchant and every acceptance point. Which core the bank runs, and which network the market settles on, are adapter questions - neither is baked in.

FEATURES

Every acceptance channel, one merchant portal.

QR code, phone-number payment requests and embeddable web payment buttons - three ways to request a payment without a physical terminal.

SoftPOS / Tap-to-Phone acceptance on certified Android devices for face-to-face payments.

Transaction management: search, multi-field filters, full or partial refunds with SMS validation, PDF receipts and Excel export.

Sales summaries aggregated by period and transaction type.

Multi-point acceptance management - create, activate/deactivate and set a default acceptance point, each with its own QR code and callback address.

Role-based merchant users (Admin, Supervisor, Technical Administrator, Customer Assistant) with per-channel notification preferences (push, email, SMS).

Security-key and API-key issuance, with documented SOAP/REST endpoints for point-of-sale and merchant-management integrations.

Bank-side console to onboard a merchant end-to-end - data, acceptance points, admin user, summary, batch QR generation - and to activate, suspend or reconfigure any merchant.

ADVANTAGES

One platform behind every way a merchant gets paid.

Multiple acceptance channels, one portal

QR code, phone-number payment requests, embeddable web payment buttons and tap-to-phone acceptance are all managed from the same merchant portal - no separate systems to reconcile.

Self-service for merchants, control for the bank

Merchants manage their own users, acceptance points, notifications and API keys day to day; the bank keeps onboarding, activation and configuration.

Built-in e-commerce integration

Payment buttons ship with ready PHP and JavaScript examples, so a merchant's own website can start accepting payments without a bespoke integration project.

Multi-location and multi-user by design

One merchant account manages many acceptance points, each with its own users, permissions, notifications and default settings.

One platform behind every acceptance channel a merchant uses - from a face-to-face tap to an embedded payment button on their own website.

BUILT FOR

Built for these merchant-acceptance scenarios.

Acquirers running a merchant network end-to-end

One console to onboard, configure and support every merchant and every acceptance point.

Merchants selling online and in person

Payment buttons for the website, QR code or phone-number requests for remote sales, tap-to-phone for face-to-face.

Micro and small merchants without a POS terminal

QR code and phone-number payment requests need nothing beyond a smartphone.

Banks integrating acceptance into merchants' own systems

Security keys, API keys and documented SOAP/REST endpoints for in-house point-of-sale software.

HOW IT WORKS

From onboarding to reconciliation.

01

Onboard

The bank registers the merchant, its first acceptance point and an admin user in one guided flow.

02

Choose a channel

The merchant requests payment by QR code, phone number, an embedded payment button, or a tap on a certified phone.

03

Confirm

The customer completes the payment; refunds, full or partial, are validated by SMS.

04

Manage

The merchant tracks transactions and sales, manages users and acceptance points, and integrates further via security and API keys.

Frequently asked questions

What is AcceptCore?

It's INM's merchant payment-acceptance platform. It gives merchants multiple ways to get paid - QR code, phone-number requests, embeddable payment buttons and tap-to-phone - behind one merchant portal and one bank-side console to onboard and manage them.

Does it work with any core banking system?

Yes. The core connection is adapter-based - Banka, Finastra Essence, an in-house legacy system, whatever is already there - over API/ISO, with no change to the central system. The domestic side works the same way: each market's clearing house, EMIS in Angola included, plugs in through an adapter.

Is it available as SaaS or on-premise?

Both. Banks in markets with data-residency requirements usually choose on-premise; SaaS where regulation allows it.

Does AcceptCore only work as a phone-based terminal?

No. Tap-to-Phone is one of several acceptance channels. Merchants can also accept payments by QR code, phone-number payment requests, or an embeddable payment button on their own website - all managed from the same portal.

Who implements it, and who stays after go-live?

INM's own teams - we don't subcontract implementation. The same team runs, evolves and supports the product 24/7 after go-live.
