How Mobile Payment systems work

Before the age of wireless laptops, tablets and smartphones business were stranded with only POS systems for their business locations. If you were a contractor you would have to take checks, wait for invoices to be paid, or make credit card impressions that clients wouldn’t feel comfortable with. Today though with wireless technology skyrocketing you can take payments on the spot for credit cards with your smartphone by using a wireless internet connection, an app, and a physical swiper that will either attach to your phone or that your phone can be placed into. A customer or client will hand you their credit car, you swipe it with the secure and encrypted card reader, the data is processed with the gateway, order is processed then you can either email a receipt to your client or print one off (available with certain devices). This is all done in a secure encrypted process where by default no sensitive data such as card numbers or security codes are stored on your mobile device.
