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.
Payment Gateways
A merchant account and payment gateway is required to use Merchant for Android. If you are interested in accepting credit cards, but do not have a existing merchant account or supported payment gateway, fill our our Merchant Inquiry form or select one of the supported payment gateways below. It usually takes about a day to get setup. More details about gateways and merchant accounts are available in our FAQ.
| Gateway Type | Merchant Provider | Recommended | Supported | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Authorize.net | Capital Payments Merchant Plus CDG Commerce and many others |
Yes | Yes | The most popular gateway for e-commerce today. |
| NaviGate | Merchant Plus | Yes | Yes | Great rates and low fees. Merchant for Android requires an Internet Merchant Account, not a Wireless Merchant Account. |
| Website Payments Pro |
PayPal | Yes | Website Payments Standard and "Regular" PayPal are not supported. | |
| Payflow Pro | PayPal | Yes | Formerly operated by Verisign. A good choice for high volume merchants. | |
| Quantum | CDG Commerce and others | Yes | ||
| NMI | Various | Yes | Network Merchants Inc (NMI) is the provider for many "private label" gateways. They generally don't advertise themselves as NMI compatible, so if you're gateway isn't listed above, you may want to ask your account representative. |
If you don't see your gateway in this list, let us know and we'll consider adding it for a future release.
