Mobile Credit Card Processing

Brought to you by Accept-by-Phone wireless credit card processing.

Credit cards: the cashflow of modern commerce 

Almost every merchant knows that credit card processing is the backbone of their business. Customers no longer think twice about whipping out the plastic for even small purchases - and acceptance is taken for granted.

Even online, customers are increasingly ready to entrust their credit cards to the worldwide web. Ecommerce merchants have a variety of quick and easy options for processing plastic online.

But when you think about it, online payment is not that amazing. The computer is simply a terminal similar in funtion to those used in retail shops.

Taking the show on the road 

But what about the mobile merchant? There are countless scenarios and positions requiring wireless credit card processing. Just imagine the opportunities presented by wireless processing for landscapers, temporary parking facilities, ticket sellers (or scalpers!), tradeshow participants, bail bondsmen, lawyers, mobile sales agents, and many many more.

Until recently, the mobile merchant had very few options available for wireless credit card processing. Then, along came the wireless terminal. These terminals are the same technology used in retail outlets, except that the data is transmitted wirelessly through the GSM/GPRS network. You "swipe" the card just like in a store and some of them even print a receipt.

On the downside, wireless terminals are expensive and are often linked to high-priced merchant accounts that add on yet more charges for wireless processing. What's more, many of these accounts are burdened with complicated long-term contracts including minimum use and cancellation fees. And that's assuming you get approved in the first place!

Finally, inexpensive, user-friendly wireless credit card processing

Now a small number of companies have emerged to break the mold and offer a truly simple credit card processing solution for mobile merchants. In fact, there is no way it could get simpler.

The answer is wireless credit card processing without a terminal. That's right. These services allow the merchant to accept credit card payments using any touch-tone phone - including cell phones - as a terminal. Couple this incredibly simple form of processing with a unique, user-friendly merchant account and you've got a complete business solution.
