Can I accept credit card payments from my phone?
Yes. Depending on your device and payment solution, a
smartphone or tablet may be used with a mobile card reader,
contactless payment technology or other mobile payment tools.
TMC can help determine which option fits your business.
What is a mobile credit card terminal?
A mobile credit card terminal is a portable payment device
that allows a business to bring checkout to the customer.
This can be useful for restaurants, contractors, events,
deliveries and businesses that serve customers away from a
traditional register.
Can I send a customer a link to pay me?
Yes. Some payment solutions allow businesses to send customers
an invoice or payment link that opens a payment page where the
customer can complete the transaction from their own device.
Can I use a QR code to accept payments?
Yes. Some payment platforms can create a QR code connected to
an online payment page. Customers scan the QR code with their
phone and are taken to the payment experience.
What is a virtual terminal?
A virtual terminal allows an authorized business user to
enter and process a payment from a web browser. It can be
useful for phone payments, office teams, accounts receivable
and other card-not-present transactions.
Should I use SwipeSimple, NMI or Authorize.net?
The right solution depends on how your business accepts
payments, the features you need and how the payment tools
need to work with the rest of your business. TMC can help
compare the options rather than asking you to figure it
out on your own.
Are online payment links secure?
Online payment security depends on the payment solution and
how it is implemented. Secure hosted payment pages, HTTPS,
fraud tools and other safeguards can all play a role.
TMC can help you understand the payment setup before you
choose a solution.
