Card Transaction System (CTS)

The Card Transaction System (CTS) enables you to test your system’s integration before you move into a production environment.

CTS allows you to submit card transactions and validate your External Host Interface (EHI) setup within a test (UAT) environment. A simple dashboard provides built-in standard test cases and a transaction history screen.
