Mobile Credit Card Processing: So Easy Even a Caveman Could Do It!

It amazes me that more people are not taking advantage of this fabulous new technology. There are applications that can turn your smart into a mobile credit card machine. This will allow many business to really get out there and pound the pavement and accept new business in ways they couldn't afford to before. It's really inexpensive and rates can be especially low  if you are swiping the credit card. You can now avoid having to lease or purchase a very expensive wireless credit card reader and also pay wireless fees. This technology is a must for people who accept credit cards on the go i.e. plumbers, electricians or even people who simply want to sell outdoors. You no longer have to carry a laptop either. This technology can be used on droid and Iphone, Itouch type phones. You do need to open a merchant account to get one but that's easier than opening up a bank account in most cases.

Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter is looking at the credit card processing as his next innovation. He's looking to target the mobile merchant service industry by developing a new piece of hardware called square. This hardware would connect to the jack of an iphone, balackberry or other mobile device and allow it to accept credit cards. Here is a video with Jack Dorsey discussing this new innovation:

Wireless Credit Card Terminals and Leases: Be Careful!

Many people just jump into a lease with a wireless credit card terminal without thinking about the consequences. Perhaps their business goes up in smoke or they feel that the equipment no longer serves it's purpose. Any way they cut it they are locked into a lease ( typically 48 months) and they  may be paying anywhere from $60-$100 a month for something they are not even using.  Leases are a big source of income for credit card processors and you trypically end up paying 10-30 times what the equipment is actually worth. Our company offers the lowest prices on wireless credit card terminals so that if you really need one  you can purchase it and then you own the equipment. If you need a wireless credit card terminal and settle for a cheap model you get what you pay for. The king of wireless credit would be a nurit 8020 (shown here) which has superb wireless connectivity and a built in printer.
