The HTC Hero phone is a reasonably priced smartphone that is popular for both business and personal use. Its highly customizable interface allows users to switch between ‘work’ and ‘weekend’ modes, and it handles the latest apps with ease. With the ROAMpay app, your HTC Hero can be the only tool you need to be a successful mCommerce merchant!
Commerce has always been commerce – buying and selling. Next the business world adapted to eCommerce, where most of that buying and selling happened online, electronically. Business is still working to keep up with the busy customer, so now mCommerce has evolved. mCommerce is mobile commerce, the ability to do business anywhere you and your customer can go.
Turning your Hero into a mobile POS terminal is easy. You need your merchant service account, the ROAMpay app, and the ROAMpay Swipe, a tiny card reader that plugs into Hero’s headphone jack. Open the app on your phone, enter the sale information by typing or using voice to text, then swipe the customer’s card into the Swipe. Approval is fast, and you can complete the transaction by emailing the customer a receipt.
Using ROAMpay on Hero is secure. All data is encrypted the moment the card is swiped, and nothing is stored within the phone itself. Swiping the card helps prevent fraud, so every transaction you complete with ROAMpay Swipe saves money on processing fees.
ROAMpay provides two ways to track sales; mobile and at home. You can access your sale reports and review your receipts anytime using your Hero. You can even process cash transactions through the ROAMpay app, so that all sales will be available on one report. An included virtual terminal for your home or office computer allows you to review sales there, and print them at your convenience for you records.
Whether your business is large or small, staying mobile is the key to reaching more customers. Using your Hero as your mobile POS terminal means no extra equipment to buy, and still being able to serve your customers anywhere they are. Let the HTC Hero be your mCommerce solution!
