Do you find this to be safe? Do you think that little device is doing a lot for the business? And what&#8217;s the cost?<\/p>\n<p>Mobile payment systems are popping up everywhere from pizzerias, to clothing stores and even in taxis. They work by using a mobile network to authorize the transaction.\u00a0But there are 3 major problems with them.<\/p>\n<p>1. \u00a0Business owners need to watch the transaction fees for each processed\u00a0purchase. Often, mobile payment fees are higher than what you can get from integrated POS systems.<\/p>\n<p>2. These mobile payment systems may seem more useful for smaller businesses, but a Point of Sale system has much greater capabilities to help you run your business. Not just record transactions like a cash register.<\/p>\n<p>Like we stated in a previous <a title=\"What's the difference between a cash register and a POS \" href=\"https:\/\/www.sintelsystems.com\/blog\/2012\/12\/what-is-the-difference-between-a-cash-register-and-a-pos-system\/\" target=\"_blank\">blog<\/a>, a POS can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Track inventory<\/li>\n<li>Maintain customer histories<\/li>\n<li>Manage employee time keeping<\/li>\n<li>Schedule appointments<\/li>\n<li>Integrate credit card processing or merchant accounts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>3. While a mobile point of sale system functions the same for each and every business, POS software can be tailored to your specific business. Having a customized transaction processing flow, reporting and capabilities can mean a huge difference in your shop&#8217;s profitability and customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p>So while they seem convenient, cheap and fun, be careful when considering a mobile payment system for your business.
