Small Business Owners: Accept Credit Card Payments With iPhone

Recently, an app was developed for the iPhone that allows business owners to accept credit card payments with their iPhones - called iSwipe.  This is ideal for businesses that travel to trade shows and expo events as it allows them to accept credit card payments from their customers even when out of the office.

iSwipe is also useful for people who run party-plan businesses (Tastefully Simple, Tupperware, Creative Memories, etc) because when you are out giving parties in your customer’s homes, you can easily accept and verify credit card payments before you get home.   Rather than having your customers write their card information down on an order form, you process their payment immediately (avoiding potential problems with illegible writing or nonsufficient funds), and save yourself the extra step when entering customer orders at a later date.

The iPhone app works with the three most commonly used payment gateways for small business owners, including Paypal, Authorize.net and Cybersource.
