Mobile credit card processing is an excellent option for mobile business owners looking to accept credit cards as payment. If you own a smartphone—be it an iPhone, Android, or some other type—you can process transactions directly over your phone. That means the ability to accept credit cards anywhere, anytime! Even better, processing from your phone means you save money that would otherwise be spent on a wireless terminal and any related software costs.
Mobile processing works two ways: you can enter the customer’s card details into the phone via the keypad, or you can get a swiper that attaches to your phone and allows you to swipe credit cards just like traditional countertop terminals. One of the benefits to consider when deciding whether or not to get a swiper are the lower costs associated with swiped (versus keyed) transactions. Also, swiped transactions mean no sensitive customer information is stored in your mobile device, so there is no chance of that information being used for fraud in the even t your phone is lost or stolen.
Using your phone for credit card processing will boost the efficiency of your business by reducing time delays resulting from payment orders having to be processed back at the office. Furthermore, the risk of error from paper processing is eliminated by processing credit cards over your mobile phone.
With all of the benefits Mobile credit card processing offers, it’s not a wonder it’s the future of payment options. Start saving time and money by contacting us about mobile processing solutions today! Visit our Smartphone Solutions page to take a look at the solutions we offer.
