Credit Card App for Iphone


Technology just keeps getting better and better and once again Apple has the upper hand. This app is an improvement over current smart phone software. A company called Payware Mobile has introduced an app (and cradle) that will allow Iphone users to place their phone in a cradle and swipe credit cards. Of course one of the break downs in the system is that the phone has to have service in order to connect to the verification company. No signal no connectivity. These transactions are still verified through VeriFone, so there wont be a whole lot of change there. Apps for other smart phones exist but credit card numbers have to be keyed in which also results in the “business” being charged higher verification limits, in most cases. This also takes the artists away from quality face to face time with fans and has security concerns. If you would like to know more information visit the Paywayre Mobile links up above.
