{{ _("Taler is a cost-effective electronic payment system + which provides you with cryptographic proof that + the payment worked correctly within milliseconds. + Your Web customers pay with previously unknown + levels of convenience without risk of fraud.") + }}

{{ _("Processing transactions with Taler is fast, + allowing you to confirm the transaction with your + customer virtually immediately. Your customers + will appreciate that they do not have to type in + credit card information and play the "verified + by" game. By making payments significantly + more convenient for your customers, you may be able + to use Taler for small transactions that would not + work with credit card payments due to the mental + overhead for customers.") }}

+ +

{{ _("You will have cryptographic proof of payment from + the Taler payment service provider. Taler does not + require you to undergo any particular security + audits (such as PCI DSS), processes or procedures, + as you never handle sensitive customer account + information. Your systems will have customer + contracts wih qualified signatures for all + transactions which you can use in court in case of + disputes.") }}

+ +

{{ _("Taler is free software, and you can use the + liberally-licensed reference code as a starting + point to integrate Taler into your services. To use + Taler, you do not need to pay license fees, and the + free software development model will ensure that + you can select from many competent integrators for + support.") }}

+ +

{{ _("Taler is designed to minimize the work the exchange + needs to perform. Combined with Taler's strong + security which prevents fraud, payment service + providers can operate with very low overhead and + thus low transaction fees.") }}

+ +

{{ _("Taler can be used for different currencies (such as + Euros, US Dollars or Bitcoins) and different + payment models limited only by what the payment + service provider supports in its interactions.") + }}

+ +

{{ _("Taler prevents tax evasion and money laundering. + Taler's protocols are efficient and do not waste + energy. Taler encourages transparency by providing + an open standard and free software reference + implementations.") }}
