Why iPhoneMerchants.com?

For us that’s simple question to answer; we love the iPhone and we know all about the payment industry. So this is a perfect fit for us. On top of that enabling micro businesses (1-5 employees) to accept credit card payments cheaply and easily looks like a great opportunity. In the United States alone there are over 18,000,000 such businesses, many of whom have elected to accept only cash and checks for payments, until now.

What are we trying to accomplish?

We simply want to be the top source for information on accepting credit cards through the iPhone. We’ll accomplish this by sharing our views on these products and creating space for you to do the same. The idea is that together we’ll be able to point businesses to the best apps and hardware for their particular needs.

To start we will emphasize VeriFone’s PAYware Mobile because it is the only app on the market that integrates with a credit card swiper. As new products, such as Mophie’s Marketplace and Jack Dorsey’s Square, become available we will be covering them as well.

We also cover apps that do not integrate with a swiper, you can see those by clicking here.

How does iPhoneMerchants.com make money?

At this point we make money one of two ways; first by businesses signing up for a merchant account through our site. Payprotec pays us a referral fee for every new account we send them. The second way is by businesses signing up for an Authorize.net account through us. We are official resellers of Authorize.net and make a small fee each month on every business we set up with them.

We provide solutions, services, and expertise that enable electronic payment transactions and value-added services at the point of sale.
