The integrated POS peripherals at the PC can be used for accepting credit / debit cards. Plutus subsequently processes the transaction and seeks authorization online with an acquirer’s authorization network.

Plutus Software Integration
Plutus Desktop Edition provides an integration API for programmatically invoking EFT POS card payments from a Windows™-based point-of-sale billing / CRM application. In integrated mode, credit / debit EFT payment transactions are launched directly from external billing / retail applications – avoiding the need for dual amount input. Also, transaction response details passed to the external application post transaction completion can be used to automatically link the EFT payment transaction with the billing sale transaction for reconciliation.
