The Benefits of Using a Mobile PDQ Terminal
When you start to look at all of the possibilities available for
mobile credit card terminals, you will most likely run into the term
'mobile PDQ terminal.' PDQ is 'Process Data Quickly,' and this term
will be very important to you if you need to process your customer's
cards for purchases. Most people are in a very big rush these days, and
they want their transactions completed quickly and easily. PDQ
technology allows for this, and there are many benefits to this type of
card processing.
- Customers want speed. As mentioned earlier,
your customers are in a hurry. They do not have time for you to look up
their card number or call the credit card company to make sure that
their card is good. They want to swipe their card, and move on their
way. When you use this technology for your customers, they will be
happy to do business with you in the future, and happy to tell their
friends and family about your product in most cases. Furthermore, the
faster you can wait on your customers, the more customers you can
serve. Quick processing makes this possible.
- A mobile PDQ
terminal makes credit card transactions safe. Your customers demand
security, and this type of device uses advanced technology, for greater
levels of encryption, that make card payment transactions completely
safe. Your customer's information cannot be stolen or misused, as it
could be if you used an imprinting device. This is very important to
your customers, and often, if they aren't sure that the transaction
won't be safe, they won't make a purchase.
- These type of
devices for collecting credit card payments can be used anywhere in the
world, in any type of environment. For many merchants who travel to
foreign events, this has been a real problem in the past when it came
to accepting payment cards internationally.
- A mobile PDQ
terminal is usually a wireless device. In many venues, electricity
isn't available, and telephone lines are rare. Processing credit cards
with the usual methods usually require both. This isn't the case with
these types of devices - no electricity or telephone lines are needed.
You don't even have to use a cell phone to perform the transactions.
- This
type of device is affordable for most businesses. You can purchase the
device, or lease the device. If you didn't think that you could afford
to accept credit cards in the past, you absolutely must reconsider, as
you are most likely losing a large number of sales by not accepting
credit cards.
As you can see, there are many important benefits to using a Mobile PDQ Terminal. These devices are typically small and compact,
wireless, and make credit card transactions secure for your customers,
enabling you to conduct business and make sales from any location in
the world. There are different types of PDQ systems available,
including systems for accepting payment online, either by the customer
inputting the information, or the merchant inputting the card
information.
