Wireless POS (point of sale) systems are one of the latest innovations in the wireless business industry today. Wireless POS allows businesses to transact customer payments on a mobile basis. This means they only need a handheld device (with wpos software installed) or a wireless pos unit itself to accept credit card payments from customers wherever they are, instantly. This technology is a trailblazer in business mobility. It facilitates the exchange of payments and secures credit card transactions. It also allows for lower transaction fees using the Card Not Present discounted charge.

A Convenient Way to Accept Payment

Some handhelds could be used as wireless pos terminals if they are installed with wireless pos software. However, wireless pos are sold as units in themselves and could be practically used to allow customers to pay using their credit cards even if you are in a trade booth, in a mobile store, or in another company branch. It makes payment processing quicker, more convenient and efficient. In fact, some business owners confess that with the use of point of sale equipment, they have been able to maintain customer loyalty and an increase in business sales. This tool is extremely valuable to salesmen who need not have to get credit card imprints and get anxious whether the customer's card is good or not.

An Easier, More Secure Form of Transaction

This particular aspect of the wireless pos makes it appealing to businesses who need security upon processing customer payments. There is less fraud and business sales improve. The better the wireless pos unit, the longer lasting the battery, and the more transactions that the business can process.

The Card Not Present charge is what business owners pay to the credit card companies if they could not transact credit cards directly to their pos system. With the use of wireless pos, the charge for CNP is reduced. This is another reason why more and more businesses adopt the wireless pos technology.
