![Quintet – boldly fly your starship through the galaxy with your friends [Freeware]](http://www.redferret.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/quintet3-270x190.jpg)
This new iPhone Credit Card Terminal software turns your groovy handset into a portable full blown credit card processor. No more ties to the landlines, or having to buy expensive swipe equipment. Install the app, sign up to authorize.net and you’re good to go, grabbing payments over WiFi or 3G. Instant approvals and declines over the air, a transaction history log and email receipts. What’s not to love? Unless it’s the $25.00 a month service charge and 2.09% transaction fee? But just think, selling stuff at fairs, shows, concerts, on-site (e.g. domestic cleaners, repairmen etc)…the mind boggles. Awesome.
Turn your iPhone into a mobile virtual terminal for charging customers’ credit cards. Deal with declined cards on-site as services are rendered. No special hardware required, just your iPhone (or iPod Touch with the 2.0 firmware update)…Works Great For Antique Shows, Art Festivals, Bands, Carnivals, Computer Guys, Concert Merchandise Sales, Conventions, DJs, Equipment Rentals, Fairs, Farmers’ Markets, Gun Shows, Gutter Cleaning, Handymen, Home Party Sales…
