Aloha EMV Middleware

Our Aloha EMV Middleware brings together secure EMV payment processing with Aloha Point of Sale (POS) systems. With this connector, thousands of Aloha restaurateurs nationwide are now able to process EMV chip cards, greatly reducing their risk of fraudulent purchases and chargebacks.

Aloha EMV offers several features that together provide an out-of-scope middleware solution that makes in-person payments easy and simplifies merchant PCI compliance:

1. It’s compatible with Aloha POS and EDC payment reports.
2. You can easily add EMV payment processing with no changes to existing workflows
3. Aloha customers can process EMV chip cards, which reduces chargebacks and fraud.
4. It improves the customer experience by expanding payment acceptance.

Semi-integrated credit card terminals offer a secure and streamlined way to process payments by connecting the terminal directly to a middleware solution, eliminating the need to fully integrate it into the POS system. This setup also allows sensitive cardholder data to bypass the POS, reducing PCI scope and enhancing security.

By leveraging our OPI, businesses gain greater flexibility in managing payment processing, device updates, and compliance — without disrupting their core POS operations.

1. The POS system sends the request to the EMV terminal for payment acceptance.
2. The EMV terminal sends the transaction request (cardholder data) directly to the processor for authorization.
3. The processor returns the authorization to the terminal, which passes the response to the POS system to finish the transaction.
