Features the merchant must also set up

| Feature | What the merchant needs | Read more |
|---|---|---|
| Loyalty and card acquisition | ID lookup, with an ID Vault and API access for their loyalty program | Loyalty and ID lookup |
| BankAxept voice authorisation | The BankAxept backup solution | Offline payments and backup |
