Payments
Wednesday, January 6, 2010
The ability to accept credit card payment has become a necessity for all retail businesses. Retailers are expanding their business to new horizons. Their businesses are no longer confined to any specific store location. Businesses looking to increase their customer base have started tapping customers outside the stores with new sales strategies such as door to door selling.
The ability to accept credit card payments depends on many factors. A terminal is extremely essential to process the payments. Modern payment systems involve a merchant account with a payment gateway service provider, card terminal and the availability of a communication channel to transmit data between the terminal and payment gateway.
In a common setup, terminals act as an interface to connect to the payment gateway. The majority of these card terminals use phone lines to transmit data.
The mobile sales force often encounters problems with payment processing during sales. Mobile sales forces cannot carry these credit card terminals along with them. Moreover, payments cannot be processed without the transmission of information between the terminal and payment gateway.
This problem can be easily solved by using Merchant Account Payment Gateway App. This application is designed to work with iPhone. This application converts your iPhone into a mobile payment terminal. This application acts as a Merchant Account Payment Gateway Interface where you can enter details such as Merchant ID, Transaction ID, card number, customer name, phone number, email address, billing address and the amount to be charged.

If you have registered on any one of the payment gateways, you can get started after downloading the application.
