Lithos helps remove the certification challenges of one of India’s leading payment processors
- India’s leading payment processor handling millions of transactions on behalf of multiple banks
- Any new terminal introduction in the market was taking months for certification; number of iterations for every certification was becoming a nightmare as they had to book slots for testing and analysis
- They wanted to crash their certification timelines and deploy terminals faster into the market
- We deployed Lithos, which functions as an acquirer, issuer and terminal simulator with support for various payment brands like MasterCard, Visa, RuPay, and Amex. It is pre-built with terminal certification test cases and it does configuration of libraries, test cases and pass criteria
- The processor was able to run their debug testing, where they could run their internal test cases and certification test cases very efficiently
- Lithos ensured that all their certifications were done in one iteration
