Accept Credit Cards Anywhere
New Technology Transforms Mobile Devices Into Payment Channels
Portable Credit Card Scanners can already let you accept credit cards from anyone who has a card and owes you money. If you have a side business selling junk at the swap meet, or vegetables at the farmer's market, or even just want to make money at a yard sale, small credit card scanner attachments and accessories can plug right into your smartphone and you can be ready to accept payments. If you are a larger business, these payment collection systems are also great for salespeople on the road who can literally scan a credit card as soon as a deal is made. Portable card scanners and merchant payment systems are expected to revolutionize the world of money. Someone who owes you cash may just give you a card and let you scan it. People in all walks of life, from your gardener to the local charity, will be able to scan cards using accessories no larger than a postage stamp.
With credit card scanners and readers, you become the point of sale! From chip sensors to Square Brand Mobile Credit Card Systems, your USB and earphone jack become accessory ports. A startup known as Bling Nation has created a phone accessory that reads chips in credit cards that touch the phone.
Notes and Special Information
Special note: Are there fees for using credit card scanners? You Bet! Shop around for the best possible deal, because even a few tenths of a percent equals money out of your pocket.
