 Our Newest Feature from Contest Winner!


Flip'n Sign lets you keep a firm grip on
your PDA while your customer signs.

  How does this work?  Pretty easy.  When you are ready to take the customer's signature, just tap on the line shown here:

After they sign, just tap on the "OK"  

This allows you to keep the PDA in your hand. just handing the stylus to the customer.  Unfortunately, the "flip" lid of the TREO 300 gets in the way, and on that PDA, there is a 2 second delay between tapping and flipping, but it is perfect for the Treo 600, 650, and Pocket PC's, where the delay is a small fraction of a second.


This new feature is available on both Palm OS and Pocket PC platforms, at no charge!

  Our latest Pocket Verifier New Feature comes from Brian Klecker, who with his wife Tracy Jayne, own and operate www.KidMusic.com , where they produce personalized CD's for children.  Brian wrote us and said "I would like it if the signature screen had an option to flip over 180 degrees. The reason is that it would be easy to hold onto the phone and let the customer, standing in front of me, sign.   Also, it would make it less likely that customer would drop the phone when signing or handing it back.  Then of course, the screen flips back to normal".

  What a fantastic idea! One objection we have often heard is the reluctance to hand over your new $500 PDA Phone over to some stranger who has no idea how to use it.  This enables the user to keep the PDA firmly in hand while the user signs.

Brian's contribution of a new feature has earned him not only our appreciation, but a check for $250.00! 

 

  We told you there was going to be a prize...  If you have an idea for a new feature, enhancement, or even a product, drop us an email. Send your suggestions to: Dennis@merchantanywhere.com  

 

Brian and Tracy have been using Pocket Verifier Professional since 2003, when he started with one of our Palm VIIx units. He continued, saying "We love the flexibility that's provided with Advanced Merchant Solutions and Verifier Pro.  We use one merchant account for our Web Sales (directly linked) and our Call-In Sales (web based form).  And when we're at a festival selling in person we can get the swiped rate by using our Palm Phone and Verifier Pro.  The combination works great for us and the service has been excellent.Brian's web site is:
