Go Payment
Intuit has introduced a new mobile credit card processing solution called GoPayment that uses the same technology as the financial service industry to protect sensitive information during transmission (128-bit SSL encryption). Personal information is never stored on the handset and a unique login and password is issued to each user when accessing GoPayment services.

For a one-time account set-up fee of $59.95, $19.95 per month and per transaction fees from 1.64% to 3.54%, merchants can process credit card payments via a mobile phone. The new service offers optional Bluetooth hardware and no long-term contract. The small, light weight mobile unit includes a card swipe that automatically reads credit card data, reducing manual entries. In addition, the unit collects data that can provide a printed receipt on the spot. “GoPayment” users can easily access Intuit’s online “Merchant Service Center” to search, view and create reports. Business owners who use QuickBooks can download their transactions from the service center directly into QuickBooksPro or Premier 2009 - saving time!
