Square’s been struggling to get their on-the-go credit card swiping method out to the thousands of small business owners who need it, but another challenger has stepped up to the Android table. QuickPay is now offering their ROAMpay Swiper – which does exactly what it sounds like – for a plethora of devices (including our dear Android, of course.) Below is a demo of the iPhone version, but as we always urge, the Android version should be no different.
“In an effort to help mobile based clients that are always on the go, we felt that it was important to add an affordable device like this to our product line up,” explains Geoffrey Lau, V.P. of Sales for QuickPay. “Because we feel that this product is superb among other devices, we are offering a free device to new clients that want to try this out.”
I must admit, I was ignorant to these types of payment systems once they first hit the market, but it was just my security OCD getting the best of me as I quickly found out that there really is no risk for you or your customers to use this. For QuickPay’s case, just take a gander at their privacy and security policies if you’re not feeling it quite yet. Full press details lie below.
"FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
QuickPay Merchant Services Now Offers ROAMpay Swiper
City of Industry, CA – September 1, 2010
As the processing industry continues to grow, it is important to have the most advanced product and service offerings for merchants that are processing payments electronically. In a recent partnership with ROAM Data, QuickPay Merchant Services will now offer new and current clients the ROAMpay credit card swiper for smart phones. “In an effort to help mobile based clients that are always on the go, we felt that it was important to add an affordable device like this to our product line up,” explains Geoffrey Lau, V.P. of Sales for QuickPay. “Because we feel that this product is superb among other devices, we are offering a free device to new clients that want to try this out.”
The ROAMpay device allows merchants who use smart phones to process credit cards wirelessly safely. This swiper is compatible with phones like, but not the iPhone, Blackberry, and Droid and also be used with the new Apple iPad. Merchants will have all the same functions as using a traditional credit card terminal but just will have the ability to accept payments in remote locations. The real-time authorization allows for fast and easy processing and will allow merchants to email their customers receipts immediately. Merchants will also be able to check transaction history and reports on the smart phone or online so they know exactly how much they have been processing in a given time period.

I love the idea of being able to accept payments on my mobile phone.
ReplyDeleteI run a wholesale jewelry design business, and also sell at events to end customers. I need to quote my clients ahead of time, and be able to collect payments right at events. But I would find it a bit messy if I had to track quotes/invoices through one tool, and payments through another tool. I would definitely find it useful if i can track all my quotes, invoices, and payments in one place. I've been using Payment Boss from Sage Software (http://www.paymentboss.com) lately because it does all this, and love it. Just wondering if others use it the same way I do.
