Roofing contractors know that in many cases, their customers were not expecting to need their services. Mobile credit card processing with iPhone gives roofing contractors the ability to accept clients’ credit cards on location, making the transaction secure and easy for both parties.

Problems with a home or business roof can come up unexpectedly, and the customer must take quick action in engaging the services of a roofing contractor. The emergency nature of many repairs makes accepting credit cards for payment more than a convenience – it is a necessity for many clients. By accepting credit cards on location with iPhone credit card processing, the contractor can now reduce the risks involved, as well as save money for the business.

iPhone processing is simple: use an iPhone app (downloadable from iTunes) to enter your merchant information and payment information, receive instant card approval, and email a receipt to your client, all in a matter of moments. The transaction is fully SSL encrypted, providing security for both your business and your client. iPhone processing eliminates future collection issues by giving you instant approval, so you know the transaction has been completed successfully. After emailing a receipt to the client, the transaction is complete and none of the information is stored within the phone itself, further protecting your client’s privacy.

The old method of calling the office to have the transaction processed, and waiting for card authorization is outdated. Not only is it clumsy for the business, it also appears less secure to the client who does not know who is processing their final transaction. Calling the credit card in also ties up two employees – the contractor on the scene, and the person at the office doing the phone processing. Instant processing with iPhone saves man-hours, which saves money.

Wireless credit card terminals require access to a wireless network, which is not always available at your client’s location. In addition, wireless terminals add wireless processing fees on top of the normal transaction fees, further reducing your profits.

The mobile credit card solution for iPhone is the perfect asset to a roofing contractor’s business. It is simple to use anywhere your iPhone works. It is secure, and offers instant card approval for your business’ security. It saves time and money in processing fees and utilization of employees. Credit processing with iPhone allows your both business and your client to handle the unexpected with confidence.
