Credit Card Processing on Android

Android Credit Card Swiper Put a Dome on Your Phone

It may not be as fancy as the Taj Mahal, but you don’,t need your phone to be categorized as a World Heritage Site—you need it to do the latest up-to-date business. Adding the white dome of a ROAMpay Swiper to your phone will do business very well.

The ROAMpay Swiper is a device from Roam Data that reads and encrypts magnetic stripe credit card data. It can be plugged into the standard 3.5 mm audio jack on phones like HTC Droid Incredible, the Motorola Droid, Nexus One, and the HTC Hero. (There is also a ROAMpay Swiper available for Apple devices, Blackberrys, and some models of Motorola, Samsung, and LG phones.) Once plugged in, you can use your handset to process credit cards by running the ROAMpay application.

Your collections department is now just as mobile as your phone, right down to the ability to issue receipts. It meets all of the PCI account data security standards for encrypting and transmitting your cardholder’,s data across the public cell phone networks. The main purpose of the dome-shaped Swiper is to receive credit card information securely and transmit it in real time, but the associated app also allows you to make cash sales, issue refunds, void errors, or even conduct offline sales in places with poor reception.

The ROAMpay app that allows the Swiper to work so efficiently is about 91KB and will download in less than a minute. It then needs to be activated to your merchant account. You can then access your sales reports from your phone at anytime and can configure it to be available on your home or office computer as well. There are no additional set-up or programming fees. All updates are free and automatic.

Using the ROAMpay Swiper dome as your point of sale terminal keeps your costs at the very lowest rates that are available only for card-present sales.
