Guide to Mobile Credit Card Processing
Collect your payments on the Go
On-site workers (i.e. plumbers and electricians, Havc, movers, etc) and those who sell through trade shows have a wide range of credit-card processing options for immediate sales and possible data capture. As wireless technology evolves, you need to consider carefully which method serves you best. Advantages of mobile commerce include:
1. Improved cash flow.
2. Secure credit and debit transactions in seconds.
3. Reduced credit-card fraud and charge backs.
4. The ability to conduct business without phone lines.
Here are the most popular forms of mobile credit-card processing and some of the add-ons you may need.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Get mobile point-of-sale terminals
POS terminals process credit or debit cards, work wirelessly or via dial-up and are secure. Some offer built-in printers and data capture options. POS terminals typically cost upwards of $1,400.
For the cheapest alternative, go with cell phones
Unless you process more than a few thousand dollars per month, cell phones may be the way to go. You can process payments with or without additional equipment. However, card-reader attachments, which cost a few hundred dollars, can help lower processing fees.
