Transaction Services is more akin to a Simphony POS client than shared service, but is included in this section because it can run on hardware that is also running the Simphony POS client. Transaction Services is best thought of as a “UI-less” Simphony POS client.
Transaction Services provides check processing and definition extraction services that 3rd party applications typically consume. The Oracle Hospitality eCommerce Integration Cloud Service and Oracle Payment Interface both use Transaction Services to connect Simphony with 3rd parties.
Customers with high transaction counts coming from 3rd party sources, for example, mobile, online, and non-Simphony client kiosk, should consider running the Transaction Services client on dedicated hardware.
