iPhone Credit Card Processing

How it Works…

iPhone credit card processing has caught on in a big way. Mobile merchants once underserved in the credit card acceptance world, now have the ability to accept payments other than cash in the field. Credit cards have boosted business with increasing sales, and attracting those individuals who do not carry cash. Processing payments on the iPhone is easy, fun, and will wow your customers. Here is how it works.

Equipment

All you need is the iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS to accept credit cards anywhere. If you prefer to physically swipe your customer’s credit cards you will need the PAYware mobile encryption sleeve. Swiping customer’s credit cards will cost the least amount of money to process.

The PAYware mobile encryption sleeve is available through PaymentMax. Installation of the sleeve is simple. Plug the sleeve into the iPhone dock connector, and viola! You are ready to swipe. The encryption sleeve is tough, with reports of going through the washer and dryer with no ill effects.

Merchant Account and Processing App

In order to process credit cards on your iPhone, you must have a current merchant account. Once your merchant account is active, the PAYware mobile processing application is downloaded onto the iPhone. The download is quick, taking only a few seconds. PAYware mobile handles the communication between the secure payment gateway, and the iPhone. Updates are automatic, and are equally fast.

Start Accepting Plastic

Once your download is complete, you are ready to start processing. Increase your average ticket, attract cashless customers, and eliminate risky checks with your new iPhone credit card processing device. The PAYware mobile application is user-friendly and will have your customers in-and-out quick. No supplies needed. Receipts are emailed directly to your customers provided email address.
