No more hassle in filling out paperwork. No more trouble trying to find credit card numbers. No more withdrawing cash from your bank account. The Android Credit Card Reader, also known as CHARGE Anywhere, has simplified the payment process for both customers and merchants, allowing instant monetary transactions to occur with only a cellular phone, a wireless internet connection, and a magnetic card reader.
This product is ideal for house-to-house salespeople. Now, instead of asking their customers to fill out paperwork requiring credit card numbers, home addresses, and other personal information, they can simply swipe the credit card through their mobile wireless terminal. Other workers who will benefit from this technology include taxi drivers, limo drivers, towing truck drivers, delivery drivers, fast food managers, indoor dining managers, retail managers, and individuals selling online.
To the relief of every crunching number accountant, this application also connects to Quickbooks Financial, Quickbooks Point of Sale, Windows Software, and other terminals. When the salesperson or service provider swipes a major credit card, such as Visa, MasterCard, or American Express, or a prepaid card through the card reader, the plug-in will process the transaction, ask for an electronic signature, accept the PIN debit, and apply the payments directly to the invoices. In short, Android Credit Card Readers do the job for the accountant.
Despite all the tasks this application can perform, it cannot replace the need for a Merchant Services Provider (MSP). Alternatively the wireless credit card terminal allows US payment processors to form deeper relationships with MSPs, because in order to open an account with CHARGE Anywhere, the holders must have accounts with both a MSPs and a certified processor. If they do not already have connections to a processor, the company website recommends trustworthy processors, a list including national banks.
Initially, in 2004, CHARGE Anywhere began selling their Comstar/RIM devises to restaurants, grocery stores, and wholesale distribution stores. And now with the PCI Security Standards stamp of approval, consumers will begin seeing card readers pop up around the world, from New York City taxi cabs to businesses located in Japan. The application is guaranteed to revolutionize how worldwide consumers purchase their devices and services, not to mention save merchants a little time and effort.
