Android Phones Get Bluetooth Credit Card
Swiping and Receipt Printing for Payment Processing
Advanced Merchant Solutions has released a complete
payment solution for Android devices. This solution is geared
towards mobile sales professionals who can use the Pocket
Verifier Software and Pocket Spectrum hardware to swipe credit
cards and print receipts.
Fullerton, CA (PRWEB)
May 14, 2010 -- Pocket Verifier Professional for Android is
now available with the Pocket Spectrum Plus; a complete
payment solution that swipes credit cards and prints receipts
for the rapidly growing Android mobile platform.
Accepting
credit cards just got easier for mobile mercha nts
everywhere
Advanced Merchant Solutions, Inc. (AMSI) has launched a
payment solution for the Android, available now in the Android
Marketplace as a free application which enables on-the-go
merchants to accept credit cards anywhere. This application
can be used with the company’s Pocket Spectrum Plus, a
Bluetooth 2-track card reader and thermal receipt printer.
Coupled together, the Pocket Verifier/Pocket Spectrum system
enables any mobile business user to avoid the high cost of
"card-not-present" transactions. AMSI further
integrates this breakthrough system into a complete solution
by packaging it with a combined merchant and gateway account;
with no upfront costs, no term commitments, and no
cancellation fees.
"This solution really differentiates itself from the
rest of the market by incorporating a printer. The
marketplace-to-date has had to settle for keyed-in email
receipts which really slow down the throughput. In addition,
attaching today’s cradle solutions to read cards greatly
increases the weight and bulk of the phone. That’s what
Bluetooth was invented for… to keep things isolated, light,
and efficient," says Dennis Ideue, the company’s CEO.
"Being the developer of the application, the manufacturer
of the printer, and the ISO issuing the merchant accounts
allows us to give unprecedented value to our customer
base," continues Ideue, "…everything is truly
under one umbrella. We make it a simple one-stop mobile shop
with one of the best competitive merchant rates in the
industry."
The Pocket Spectrum Plus is currently shipping. Its retail
package features Bluetooth, a rugged thermal print mechanism,
2-track magnetic stripe reader, interchangeable lithium-ion
batteries, a quick-charge adaptor, and a leather case with
integral belt clip. Pocket Verifier Professional for Android
is currently available in the Android Marketplace. For more
