PAYware Mobile By Verifone

The iPhone 3 can be used for credit card processing with the addition of PAYware Mobile and a merchant account. PAYware Mobile has three parts: the mobile app, a sleeve-style encrypted card reader, and online management tools. The PAYware Mobile Secure Card Reader is compatible with both the iPhone 3 and the iPhone 3GS.

• Supports credit card and check card transactions.
• Works in conjunction with your PaymentMax account and the PAYware Connect gateway.
• Conforms to the same stringent security standards in use today at ATM’s.
• Displays transaction records in the application and at your online portal.
• Allows for signature capture for greater fraud protection.
• Records tips and taxes separately for easier recordkeeping.

PAYware Mobile for the iPhone 3 increases the potential for sales by giving customers an additional payment option. Accepting credit cards also benefits the merchant by greatly reducing or even eliminating the wait times and business expenses incurred during invoicing. To record a transaction, the iPhone slips into a sleeve. Card data is automatically encrypted with VeriShield Protect when a card is swiped through the sleeve.

Because employees are already familiar with operations on the iPhone 3 and PAYware Mobile uses easy to follow prompts, there is a steep learning curve and they quickly become proficient using the system to process cards.

PAYware Mobile card processing is a good option for owners of the iPhone 3 or 3GS who need a secure, fast, and convenient system for handling credit card sales without investing in additional processing hardware. It is recommended for small merchants who need cost-effective card processing, those who have multiple points of payment, such as storefront, remote sales, and telephone orders, and for merchants with a multi-member outside sales staff.
