SalesVu Review for iPhone: Mobile Payments anywhere, everywhere

February 23, 2012

In todays world anyone can sell anything from anywhere. If you’re at a cart on the side of a street in New York to the back country of Washington state. Point of sales(POS) devices are crucial for processing not only cash payments but for charging credit cards. Everyone these days carries credit cards or debit cards on them and are an increasing form of payment because it is so much safer than cash. POS devices today have gotten so small these days that they can fit into your smartphone.

SalesVu is an ingenious app and payment service that allows anyone from a single user to businesses to accept credit card payments anywhere using just an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad. You will be provided with a free card reader which plugs into the charging port of your device and allows for cards to be swiped. Card details can be entered into the app manually if no reader is present. The app comes with tons of others features which are lacking on other payment services such as Customer Lookup by name/phone/email, Configuring Deals/Discounts availability and much more.

Whether you take payments for your small business or are selling things this weekend at a garage sale, this app is for you! With the use of this simple mobile application you can take payments from your customers with your phone and the only cost to you is 2.7% of each transaction! This is much more cost effective for a lot of people.

So what’s the catch for this free service? It seems there really isn’t one. By comparison to other payment services, SalesVu is a very reasonable option with no contracts or monthly minimums. SalesVu takes a small percentage of each transaction, currently 2.7% with or without the card present and the best thing about the service is that it doesn’t put your transactions on hold for any reason, next day deposit is their policy.
