Overview
PAYware Mobile is VeriFone’s mobile payment solution that works with iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS,
iPhone 4G, and iPod touch running OS 3.1.2 or higher. PAYware Mobile is the perfect complement to
a total business operations solution by consolidating all payments in one centralized portal. For
merchants who have multiple points of payment—storefront, remote sales, and telephone orders—
adding the ability to take payments wherever the need arises enables increased sales by offering
the payment option of credit cards at any time. Expand your customer base by serving merchants on
the go who previously have not wanted to invest in a full-blown Point of Sale (POS) solution or
mobile payment terminal.
PAYware Mobile works in conjunction with PAYware Connect, our hosted payment gateway solution
that routes transactions to various U.S. payment processing companies. One of the benefits of using
our gateway is that data is encrypted with VeriShield Protect at the card swipe, giving you the
peace of mind that your customers’ data is secure.
The PAYware Mobile Secure Card Reader is only compatible with the iPhone 3G and the iPhone 3GS.
It is not compatible with the iPod touch. However, you may perform manually keyed transactions
using the PAYware Mobile application on the iPod touch.
Why PAYware Mobile
All merchants who accept credit cards for payments know that in doing so, consumers tend to spend
more and shop more often when paying with credit cards. Many smaller businesses, such as home
services and delivery, have not yet had the ease to accept electronic payments. PAYware Mobile is
ideal for small businesses—such as cafes, door-to-door sales, and home repair services—that
typically haven’t been able to access payment applications.
Credit cards can be accepted by manually keying the card number into the iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS,
iPhone 4Gor iPod touch, or by swiping the card through the attached PAYware Mobile Secure Card
Reader. When the card is swiped, the card data is automatically encrypted with VeriShield Protect.
PAYware Mobile is PA-DSS 1.2 validated by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council
(PCI SSC) therefore ensuring the highest security standards for payment applications.
