Wireless Credit Card Processing

Wireless credit card processing allows merchants to process payments wherever and whenever. This is very useful for businesses that operate in a mobile environment such as repair services, food carts, sporting events, etc.  All you need to start using your wireless credit card processing terminal is to connect the terminal to your internet connection. When you begin a transaction, you simply swipe the customer’s card and wait for the approval, which only takes a couple of seconds.

Functionalities and features of wireless terminals are the same as traditional terminal – however, compared to traditional credit card terminals that use dial-up internet, wireless terminals connect to Wi-Fi internet, enabling you to send and receive data at a rapid rate. In addition, wireless terminals are compact and lightweight —  making them ideal for businesses that are always on the go.

1. When a customer tries to make a payment, the merchant slides their card into the wireless credit card terminal and encodes the total amount of the purchase. This information is securely sent to Proudly via a radio tower.
2. Proudly submits the transaction data to the customer’s issuing bank. This process is done to verify the card as well as to set aside the amount to be paid to the merchant.
3. The issuing bank either approves or declines the transaction.
4. The information about the transaction is sent back to the mobile credit card machine. This may take about 10 seconds, depending on the network used by the merchant.
5. At the end of each business day, the merchant manually or automatically “settles” the batch of transactions. This allows the funds to be transferred from the issuing bank and deposited into the merchant’s account.

All you need to start using your wireless credit card processing terminal is to connect the terminal to your internet connection. Easy as pie, right? You don’t need to be a techie to figure it out. When you begin a transaction, you simply swipe the customer’s card and wait for the approval, which only takes a couple of seconds.
