What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dq Treat's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the PARPay Service enables franchisees to process credit, debit, and private card payments via the internet or wirelessly. This service supports EMV, NFC, and MSR compliant transactions, linking to international acquirers and includes point-to-point encryption (P2PE v2.0), transport layer security (TLS v.1.2), and tokenization technology to process payments.
Specifically, the PARPay service allows Dq Treat franchisees to issue gift cards and accept credit/debit cards from customers. It enables franchisees to register and monitor sales and usage of each Gift/Credit/Debit Card via Participating Location Tokens. Customers can use these cards to purchase goods and services at the franchisee's location. The service also provides franchisees access to read and confirm customer Gift/Credit/Debit Card Data via Participating Location Tokens and to generate reports on sales and related transactions.
Additionally, Dq Treat franchisees gain access to the Store Place Portal, a web-based business intelligence reporting and analysis tool accessible via the internet or wirelessly from a mobile phone or computer.
