Abstract
One or more devices within a transaction services hub receive, via an internal distribution network interface, configuration settings for a network connection between merchant devices and a host device and establish, based on the configuration settings, a virtual private network (VPN) session between the one or more devices within the transaction services hub and the host device. The one or more devices receive, from a first merchant device, a first transaction authorization request originating via a voice network and receive, from second merchant transaction device, a second transaction authorization request originating via an Internet Protocol network. The one or more devices route, via the VPN session, the first and the second transaction authorization requests to the host device, collect data regarding the first and the second transaction authorization requests, and provide, via a public network connection, an interface to retrieve reports based on the collected data.
