Every business out there takes credit cards. If they don’t, they aren’t really a business. I know many of you out there own a business, and you need to be able to process credit cards. I have a way for you to be able to do this right on your iPhone. You can use Credit Card Terminal to enable you to take credit card payments no matter where you may be.

Turn your iPhone into a mobile virtual terminal for charging customers’ credit cards. Deal with declined cards on-site as services are rendered. You will need to sign up for the Authorize service in order to be able to use this App.

Credit Card Terminal transmits credit card information directly to Authorize. The credit card information is not communicated to our servers. All transactions are protected with SSL encryption. Credit Card Terminal does not store credit card numbers after the transmission is complete.

If you use our link, you can get this $50 App for FREE right now! That’s a great savings! Once you have the App, you will simply need to pay for the $25.00 monthly fee for Authorize.

The developers for this App are local, and I met them the other day. They’re very cool guys, and I had no idea this even existed! I tried the App out myself, and gave them some feedback on things I’d like to see. They are dedicated to incorporating what you – the users – want and need from an App like this.

You can enter a lot of additional information with this App, not just a credit card number. Add in: card security code, email, phone number, first name, last name, address, city, state, country, invoice number, description. You can save these if need be for repeat customers who give their permission for you to save their information for future payments.

If you’re a business owner who has an iPhone – you seriously need this App!

This sounds like a very interesting app. The price is not quite what I expected, but it could be a small price to pay for a business on the go.

Please tell them to make it work with a Bluetooth cardreader. I know someone that does this on their Treo… a Treo!!

Chris,
Thanks for the heads up on this app. Look very cool and is certainly a much lower cost than some of the wireless credit card terminals out there.

Great for trade show merchants.

Sounds frightening… would you type in your CC number and all your data into any random guy’s mobile phone? I know that the CC is insecure by nature and way outdated, that theoretycally any shop can bug their POS terminal, but this is really the easiest way to cheat.

Having said that, I am a mobile developer and ‘do everything and anything with your mobile’ type of guy with lots of ideas, but it just sounds wrong. On the other hand people just don’t get security, so why not do it. :) But wait… I just figured out a secure (at least trackable) way of doing it! :) The only problem is that it’s less convenient and less ‘instant’ and that’s the very reason why people usually ignore security issues.

QuickBooks also has a similar app called GoPayment. I have it loaded on both my iPhone and BlackBerry. The app is free and then it’s a $19.95 monthly fee. In terms of security, they say it meets industry standards for security, all the data is encryted and none is stored on the phone. They said it’s like using a website to enter card numbers.
