Mobile Benefits
-
Sell on the go
As long as you have your mobile device and card reader, your business is completely portable, which means you can take your business to tradeshows, conventions, farmer’s markets, and more.
-
Take payments on the spot
Instead of waiting for checks to be mailed, chasing late payments, and hounding your customers, you can take payments as soon as the job’s done. This is invaluable for businesses that make onsite repairs, house calls, etc. You’ll get paid faster and see funds in your account within 1-2 business days.
-
Reduce line-ups
In addition to taking your business on-the-go, you also have the option to take mobile payments in store. Instead of being confined behind a stationary checkout counter, turn your salespeople into mobile point of sales, allowing them to roam around the store to better assist customers. 86% of customers will avoid a store if a line-up is too long; by taking mobile payments you can line bust and recover those sales.
