we want to hear from you


  A USB solution for PC's and Laptops with both printer and swiper! 

Our newest product bundle fills a request we get too often: 

How can I get Pocket Merchant to work on my laptop? 

Almost all new laptops are built with no serial ports, and the Pocket Merchant is a serial device!  After testing many of the USB to Serial converters, we found one that worked on every system we could try, and it was from a trusted vendor, www.Cables-to-Go.com

We have purchased a quantity of these, and are bundling it with the Pocket Merchant, and our Flagship PC software, PC Verifier. 

Normally the package would cost $437 (Pocket Merchant at $299, PC Verifier at $99, and USB to Serial Adapter at $39), but we are offering the bundle at only $337 - WOW - a $100 savings!   You can order it by clicking here.  Now your wireless laptop or PC can accept credit cards anywhere!

As we celebrate the passing of 2004 we would like to thank our merchants, vendors, and partners that have made us so successful this past year.  We are looking forward to even faster growth, as we will be welcoming some large organizations as new mobile merchants in upcoming newsletters.

The 2004 Award for "Carrier of the Year" goes to Sprint. 

With 4 available PDA phones, the ultra-affordable Treo 300, the ground-breaking Treo 600, followed by the even-better Treo 650, and finally, the Sprint Harrier, the Pocket PC that bested the HP 6315 superphone! 

When you add that to Sprint's "penny-per-kilobyte" pay as you go plan, that's just too astounding not to mention.  If your current contract is coming to an end, you would be foolish not to give Sprint's offerings serious consideration.


Treo 650 cables for the Pocket Merchant will be here soon: 
 
We have a VERY small number of pre-production cables that we made for testing.  These are available to our merchants on a first-come-first served basis.  Production cables will be here in about 2 months.


 2004 was a banner year for Pocket Verifier!

We have added a number of powerful features and extensions:

  03/28 - Customizable Receipts
  04/03 - Palm OS5 Ver. Released
  05/01 - Check Guarantee option
  07/15 - Bluetooth Support added
  09/04 - Fix for Palm.net shutdown
  10/02 - Cash receipts option
  12/18 - Flip'n Sign Feature added




 
While the shutdown of Palm.Net
on August 31st removed many of our would competitors
, it simply increased our resolve to continue making Pocket Verifier the best product we possibly can, with on-going, breakthrough innovations that are always free to our merchants.

Note:
PocketChange cash receipts was the only exception, as a one-time $10 add-on. 

We have many exciting add-ons and features planned for next year, and we invite suggestions. 

Brian Klecker won $250 for his suggestion, as you can see in our December 18th newsletter!
