{% trans %}
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.
{% endtrans %}

<div class="col-lg-4">
<h3>{{ _("Fast") }}</h3>
<p>
{% trans %}
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.
{% endtrans %}
</p>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4">
<h3>{{ _("Secure") }}</h3>
<p>
{% trans %}
You will have cryptographic proof of payment from the
Taler payment service provider. With Taler you never
handle sensitive customer account information and thus
do not have to undergo any particular security audits
(such as PCI DSS). Your systems will have customer
contracts with qualified signatures for all
transactions which you can use in court in case of
disputes.
{% endtrans %}
</p>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4">
<h3>{{ _("Free") }}</h3>
<p>
{% trans %}
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 competing integrators for
support.

<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-4">
<h3>{{ _("Cheap") }}</h3>
<p>
{% trans %}
Taler is uses efficient cryptographic constructions with low
bandwidth and storage requirements. Combined with Taler's strong
security which makes fraud impossible, Taler payment service
providers can operate with very low overhead and
thus offer low transaction fees.
{% endtrans %}
</p>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4">
<h3>{{ _("Flexible") }}</h3>
<p>
{% trans %}
Taler can be used for different currencies (such as
Euros, US Dollars or Bitcoins) and any amount, limited
only by applicable regulatation and what denominations
the payment service provider supports.
{% endtrans %}
</p>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4">
<h3>{{ _("Ethical") }}</h3>
<p>
{% trans %}
Taler prevents tax evasion and money laundering.
Taler's protocols are efficient and do not use wasteful
proof-of-work calculations. Taler encourages
transparency by providing an open standard and free
software reference implementations.

The backend <b>signs</b> and <b>stores</b> the

The backend <b>validates</b> payments received from
the wallet and <b>executes</b> them with the Taler

the merchant's frontend must pass the payment
request through to the Taler backend and check the
HTTP status code that is returned.
