Free Download Turns iPhone and iPod touch into Credit Card Terminal;
Helps Business Owners Get Paid Faster and Improve Cash Flow
Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq:INTU), the maker
of QuickBooks®,
today announced that Intuit® GoPayment is available on the
App Store. The GoPayment App is a new way to process
credit card payments using iPhone and iPod touch. The free download
turns iPhone or iPod touch into an affordable and hassle-free credit
card terminal.
GoPayment helps business owners get paid faster and improve cash flow by
processing customer credit card payments as soon as they complete a job.
It’s a quick and easy way to process credit cards, view past charges and
send customers electronic receipts via e-mail or text message. For added
control, users can also review transactions online and synchronize them
with QuickBooks.
“More and more entrepreneurs are relying on their iPhone or iPod touch
to manage their business,” said Chuck Harris, general manager of
Intuit’s Payment Solutions. “With GoPayment this now includes getting
paid. And they get the peace of mind knowing that GoPayment – both the
App and the actual merchant account – come from Intuit, a company that
has helped millions of people manage their finances for more than 25
years.”
The GoPayment App is available for free download from the App Store on iPhone
and iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore/.
About GoPayment
GoPayment is affordable and hassle-free. It requires no extra, costly
hardware and business owners can add more employees to a single merchant
account at no additional cost. Credit card data is never stored on the
handset and is protected during transmission using the same technology
as the financial services industry standard. The GoPayment App works on
iPhone and iPod touch OS versions 2.1 and later and transactions can be
synchronized with QuickBooks 2009 and later.
In addition to the free GoPayment App, to process credit card payments,
business owners need an Intuit GoPayment merchant account, which costs
$19.95 a month and requires a one-time setup fee of $59.95. Transaction
pricing is competitive and users can cancel any time as there are no
long-term contracts. Standard carrier data and text fees apply when
sending e-mail and text message receipts.
For a limited time only, Intuit will waive both the setup fee as well as
the first 60 days of monthly fees and minimums for a savings of more
than $135. More information is available at http://mobilepayment.intuit.com/.
