Overview

The Smartpay Fuse Enterprise Business Centre (EBC) is a powerful merchant servicing portal that allows you to configure and operate your payment service. Key capabilities include:

  • Configuration of your payment services settings
  • Ability to view and download reports and transaction data
  • Customise and configure reports
  • Process MOTO transactions (Mail order/ Telephone order) in a virtual payment terminal

The EBC is accessible in each of our TEST and LIVE environments, allowing you to experiment with servicing, reporting, payment and configuration operations before going live. The different environments are available on the following URLs:

Please see the “Key Information” section below for an overview of key capabilities. Merchants need to call Barclaycard to advise of any changes to the main business contact or address credentials to ensure those changes are reflected correctly across Barclaycard systems.

Key information

Your Smartpay Fuse Account will be configured with an “Account Level” Merchant ID (MID), and one or more “Payment” MIDs below. Users created at the account level have access to all the payment MIDs below, without having to log into each one separately. Any additional users created at the payment MID level will only have access to that MID.

You can navigate between the available menus by using the Dashboard menu on the left hand side, which can be accessed by selecting any of the icons on the left :

Please note that not all options are available to all users. Users are assigned a User Role by the system administrator, and the role selected will determine which options are available within the EBC.
