Use Your iPhone to Accept Credit Card Transactions

Verifone's PAYWare Mobile allows merchants on the go to take card payments anywhere  

Verifone and Apple have teamed up to bring us the PAYWare Mobile application and card encryption sleeve, tools to transform your iPhone into a secure, portable credit card terminal.  With this new technology, you don't have to let a phone line and power outlet limit your ability to accept payment cards.  Setting up at a trade show? Delivering a product? Working on location?  PAYWare Mobile may be your answer.

Check out this video on PAYWare Mobile, and then email us at info@paymentplusinc.com to learn how you can start accepting mobile payments.

 

 

Payment Plus welcomes a new team member

Meet Maranda and learn why she is a perfect fit for the Payment Plus family 

Maranda Littlejohn joined us in November of last year as an Account Manager.  A Lewisburg native who recently moved to Paducah, Maranda is a graduate of Western Kentucky University with an Associates degree in Communication and a Bachelors in Organizational Communication.

Maranda handles customer care, sales support, and the Payment Plus newsletter.  She is also instrumental in assisting customers with PCI compliance.  "The security questions that merchants have to answer are written in technical speak and can be challenging for those without years of computer experience to understand,"   says Maranda.  "Being exposed to the language so often, I can relay the information to the customer in an easy-to-understand way, ensuring nothing is lost in translation when it comes to payment industry compliance."

Maranda and her husband David are both involved with Kentucky 4-H.  She also is a total foodie, and loves to eat out as well as cook at home.  Check out her favorite recipe for the best chocolate chip cookies.

 

"The most important single ingredient in the formula for success is the knack of getting along with people."

Theodore Roosevelt

Consumers are spending more money and putting more purchases on their debit cards than ever before.  Data from the ETA first quarter report shows that debit transactions are quickly outpacing credit transactions.  Consumers are choosing to put more everyday purchases on their debit cards rather than use their credit cards.
