Accept Credit Cards on your Nextel Phone! - Swiped Rates

This screen-by-screen tutorial will step you through the process of accepting credit cards with the nSwipe card reader. It is assumed you have set up your phone with the instructions in "First-time Setup. Buttons actually on the phone, marked with a legend or text on the bottom of the screen are shown in RED. Selections on the screen are inside "Quotes".

		First, turn the phone on, and let it establish it's service. When you see the screen to the left, press the MENU button on your phone.

		The main menu will appear, with the first option "Net" already selected. Press the SELECT button.

		From the "Bookmarks" menu, select the "Merchant ID" that we set up earlier. Press OK. (if you did not come directly to this page, Press, Hold, and Release the MENU key, and scroll down to bookmarks)

		Enter your Merchant ID. Press OK.

		Enter your NUMERIC Password. Press OK.

		Swiped is the default here, Press OK.

		If you have not already hooked up your card reader, do so now. Instructions for this are in "Using the Reader" Swipe the card, and asterisks "*" will appear in groups, with a slight pause between groups.

		It will take about 20 seconds for the entire card information to be transferred to the phone. when the transfer is complete, the asterisks will stop appearing. Press NEXT.

		In a swiped transaction, this screen is just a confirmation that the card was read properly. Press YES.

		Now, we will enter the amount of the transaction. To make keying easier, we do not use a decimal point. 1050 equals $10.50, and 50000 would be $500.00. When done, press NEXT.

		If your business accepts tips, you can enter the tip amount here. When done, press NEXT.

		Again, we display the charge to be made (With decimal points). If everything is correct, press CHARGE.

		Congratulations, when you have received an approval, like the one shown here, you have completed the transaction! (Of course if you get a decline, you will need to get a different credit card from your customer!)
