TouchNet Marketplace
Marketplace is a comprehensive software solution for creating, managing, and operating online stores and virtual malls. It provides UNM departments with a complete infrastructure to host an online store, process secure online payments for shopping carts and other web-based applications, and delivers a safe, intuitive, and enjoyable online shopping experience for campus constituents.
Marketplace centralizes UNM’s control over financial transactions and technology while distributing day-to-day site reconciliation and reporting to authorized campus users. Departments are equipped with tools to deploy branded websites, enabling them to offer products and services online without requiring significant investments in limited IT resources.
In addition, Marketplace allows departments to manage inventory, set pricing, define shipping rules, process orders and shipments, track revenue, and create secure payment pages for other campus web-based applications.
Marketplace is powered by TouchNet, a contributing member of the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) and a leader in safeguarding sensitive cardholder data. TouchNet is the only higher-education–focused commerce provider certified as both PCI DSS and PA-DSS compliant. More than 700 colleges and universities rely on TouchNet to automate, integrate, and secure campus commerce transactions. As a trusted Banner partner, TouchNet is fully integrated to ensure payments are transferred directly from the bank to university accounts, making it the gold standard for security in campus commerce.
