Credit card processing on the iPad is now available through PaymentMax. At its launch last April, the iPad was touted as a “revolution.” While that may be an overstatement made in the heat of marketing exuberance, when the right apps are added, it isn’t much of an exaggeration. For the small businessman with a merchant account from PaymentMax, an iPad may well revolutionize the way that business is done.
One of the best parts of the iPad, its user interface, is also what makes it good as a credit card processor. Card data is easily entered on the touch screen and displayed as clear, easy to read numbers. The information display, when compared to card processing on standard processing terminals or smaller-screened mobile phones, allows for highly readable orders. It’s clear contrast and brightness levels that stay steady even when viewed from an angle make the legibility aspect of card processing on the iPad even better than when using a more traditional card processing terminal. The app has features that assist with fraud protection and allow the sending of encrypted data over a secure connection.
Apps and iPads being equal, the one variable that the small business owner has complete control over is the choice of provider for his merchant account. PaymentMax has individualized plans so that the start-up entrepreneur is paying only for the features that are needed. As the business grows, more features can be added without becoming locked into long-term contract commitments.
PaymentMax offers accounts that make it practical for a small businessman to accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express cards. As soon as the sale is approved, PaymentMax works to get the cash flowing ASAP so the money is available in your bank account in less than a day. This is topped off with other merchant-pleasing features like no application fee, nearly instant account acceptance times, no set-up fees, and 24/7 customer service. PaymentMax believes that the best businesses are built on the best relationships, and that is what they work to bring to their iPad customers.
