Take It On The Road!

Looking for an inexpensive way to accept credit cards when you are on the go this holiday season? Well, if you are one of the millions who utilize a smart phone the solution may be right in front of you! Today's IPhone's (and soon other smart phones) are becoming compatible with secure payment solutions and card reader attachments are now available through eCom Merchant Solutions!

If you didn't have a reason to put a new smart phone on your Christmas list, you will once you hear about how convenient and cost efficient using it for your on the go credit card processing needs can be. The old wireless terminals costing upwards of $1,000 are a thing of the past! You'll want Santa to put you on the "Nice" list this year!


Why is it so cost effective?


Processing credit cards face-to-face is the most secure way to transact. After all, when the customer is face-to-face you could ask for photo ID if you were uncertain of their identity. The Credit Card Payment industry charges lower rates and fees anytime you are able to swipe a credit card. However, because of the high cost of the wireless equipment needed to swipe credit cards and monthly wireless access fees, the benefits of the lowered rates could not be fully appreciated. 


With the new smart phone attachments often costing only $75, there is no longer a need for the costly equipment. And as far as monthly wireless fees, you are already paying for the wireless service so that you can utilize your phone, why not let this service multitask? All that is required from there is an Authorize.Net secure Virtual Point of Sale Gateway and a retail based merchant account.
