Accepting Credit Cards on Your Anrdoid Phone
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!I spent the last week or so investigating the number of different Merchant Services Apps available for download in the Android market. In all the private consulting I do its quite handy to have the ability to take credit card charges at all let alone on my phone while I’m on the go. Essentially, and for the sake of argument, I found that there are two types of apps in this category. The first type are the apps that are designed to integrate your existing merchant account with Paypal or the like. The second type are the apps designed to provide you with a fully functioning and new merchant account. The problem I have with the first type are the simple expense... (more...)

Second, say your phone gets lost or stolen... (more...)
