Salequick | Best app to invoice & accept credit card payments
by AUGURS TECHNOLOGIES Software & Mobile App Development Company IndiaCredit card processing apps definitely a powerful tool for
merchants. Instead of investing your money on expensive POS system, Salequick (Credit
card processing app) works on smartphone and tablets facilitates you a low cost
hardware and affordable software fee. Credit card processing apps are also
called as point of sale/POS Apps and also mPOS(mobile point of sale) apps. The
ability to work on smartphone or tablet is just one aspect of equation. Credit card
processing apps also offer small lightweight mobile card readers rather than
full on credit card terminals that require a dedicated internet connection.
But where do you start to look? What features and
specification do you need? Let’s start with the four very important aspects to
consider when choosing a credit card processing app.
Four major
key features to look into a credit card processing app:
1. Need of your business: All credit card apps
are not created with equal features and functionality. You should choose for
what you and your business needs. What features are must have in your chosen
app in terms of inventory and reporting. What operating system you required in
your POS App. Would having a virtual terminal as a backup be helpful? Are you
comfortable with paying a monthly software fee or would you rather have a
pay-as-you-go option?
2. Standalone POS or integrated platform: First
decide do you need credit card app to take payment in person or do you plan to
sell online, do custom orders and maybe sell on social media. A standalone POS
App is good enough, if you plan to sell in person. But if you plan to run your
business through multiple sales channel, integrated app makes all much easier.
With an integrated platform, you can also
manage custom orders, invoice with the same portal. No need to check you mails
to see whether the payment has sent. An all in one approach makes it much easier
to manage your business. You can also choose integrated platform if you plan to
expand your business, because it doesn’t charge for the features, you are not
using.
3. Payment Processing Cost: Payment
processing cost refers to the actual transaction processing rates as well as
any applicable software costs. Some of payment processing apps only charge for
transaction cost not for software cost and some charge for software and
processing costs. Obviously you’ll save more money by choosing a app that doesn’t
charge for software fee. But remember the best value does not always equate to
the lowest prices. It always depends on what features you get and the quality of
the experience.
4.
Cost of
Hardware: Software fee can be free of a credit card processing app
but still you need to consider hardware fee. So make sure to know what hardware
you need. Some providers offer hardware bundles at discounted rates which can
be beneficial with your budget. So it is good to decide before shopping that
how much you want to spend on hardware.
So these
are the key features you should keep in mind while choosing a credit card
processing app. If you have more suggestions for features in credit card
processing app, you are most welcome in comments.
