Merchant for Android

Accept credit cards using your Android device and a payment gateway.

Most mobile businesses have had to rely on slow, unverified forms of payment until now. Merchant for Android allows you to get instant credit card authorization without a credit card terminal or cash register. You are open for business anywhere, anytime you have your Android phone. No more worrying about whether someone just wrote you a bad check, or if their credit card is good. Transactions settle the same day, so you get paid fast.

Some of our clients are roofers, painters, diaper services, massage therapists, and vendors at trade shows, art fairs, and charity events. Some sources indicate accepting credit cards can increase sales by 400%, especially impulse buys.
