Title: Payments via iPhone app
Post by: Pittmonkey on May 27, 2009, 09:28:37 am: Thought this could be of interest. I'm due for a new phone soon and this could be a great solution for payments. Don't know the cost will have a read up later.

Perhaps, when the prices come down huh :D

Post by: Rob_B on May 27, 2009, 05:47:00 pm: I've just found one in the apps store called credit card terminal. It was in the business section. £29.99. It looks the same.

Post by: ianhannaford on May 27, 2009, 09:14:43 pm: This app still requires access to www so why not just use PayPal Virtual Terminal and use the web browser to process?

Post by: jr windows on May 27, 2009, 09:46:23 pm: Just been looking in the app store. Loads of apps so you can take cards. Cheapest I've found so far is £8.99 for the app. I put in paypal and a few came up.

You dont really need an app to do this, you can just open safari and goto paypal.co.uk. You have to sign up to use their virtual terminal but they offer some very good rates. The apps are just another way to display the front end, they still require you to be connected to the internet in order to process the payments
