Setting up an account<\/strong><\/p><p>First, you need to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/comparedbusiness.com\/uk\/blog\/card-machines\/what-is-a-merchant-account\/\">set up a merchant account<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. This enables businesses to accept payments from both credit and debit cards. If you choose to employ third-party payment processors, you may not need to have a merchant account.<\/p><p><strong>2. Choose the transaction method<\/strong><\/p><p>Decide which type of payments you will accept from your customers. While a mobile card reader will need certain hardware (like a card reader), you can choose to have a virtual terminal (on your computer), payment link feature, app payment feature or QR code option.<\/p><p><strong>3. Install the needed software<\/strong><\/p><p>The phone payment method that you choose will generally come with an application that is compatible with Android or iOS. You need to install it to begin accepting phone payments. Normally, most applications come with in-built dashboards that depict all the functions, like transaction reporting, virtual terminal and data analytics.<\/p><p><strong>4. Take details and process the payment<\/strong><\/p><p>When a customer intends to make a payment, you may need to enter their credit card information like expiration date, card number and CVV code (or they can simply tap or swipe their card). Once you enter it and initiate the payment, your payment processor will then take over the responsibility.<\/p><p>It will verify the details, process the payment and update you when the transaction is approved.
