iPhone becomes a credit card processing device thanks to ProcessAway
January 28, 2009 by james
Sio the iPhone has found yet another new use: now it has been turned into a mobile credit card processing device, thanks to a new application called ProcessAway. The software is made for an Apple iPhone or iPod Touch and works over any available network connection. Transactions can be processed at places such as conventions, street fairs, antique shows, and by business owners performing mobile detailing, on-site consultation or construction.
As such, business owners can use their iPhone to conduct real business. The ProcessAway software utilizes the Authorize.net gateway. The Authorize.net API is what fueled the development of ProcessAway and allows the millions of iPhone users to turn their device into a credit card terminal.
The business owner is not limited to mobile transactions through their device. The Authorize.net merchant account used with ProcessAway includes an option to download transactions into Quickbooks and also a comprehensive Virtual Terminal. This gives business owners the benefit of processing transactions out of the office with ProcessAway and in the office through the web-based Virtual Terminal, all with a single account. Even though the Virtual Terminal is available, ProcessAway was designed as a stand-alone comprehensive processing solution that can be used effectively in any environment.
The ProcessAway software will be sold through the iTunes AppStore for $19.99. A fully functional free version, called ProcessLite, will also be available. It will be identical to ProcessAway except the charge amount will be limited. Both ProcessAway and ProcessLite were submitted to Apple for review on January 26, 2008, and will appear in the AppStore according to Apple’s approval schedule, for more information check out the official website.
