Reliability
We understand the importance of absolutely reliable credit card processing. CPGateway is designed to stay in operation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

• If your local Internet service fails (your ISP or communication lines go down), CounterPoint will automatically switch to dial-up mode and call your card processor directly- so you never have to worry about not completing the sale!
