Small to medium businesses that need to take credit card payments on the go. Great for photographers, home service or repair (computers, HVAC, animal care), arts/crafts, fund-raising, events, and more.
I bought the Payware Mobile swiper through the Apple store for the same price ($149). It is AWESOME. My customers love swiping their cards with it like it's a toy or a novelty item. Plus it's great to never have to turn down a customer because they only have cards and no cash.
The only crappy part about this product is that Verifone refers you to all these different companies for getting a merchant account and getting the payment gateway setup. I called 3 of them and never got a call back. The only way I was able to get setup was through a site I found through an Apple app store review for payware: [...]. They were able to get me up and running in under 24 hours--AWESOME! And now I just love having people pay me through my iPhone.
I previously had a version of this that only supported the IPHONE 3 series (it is form fitted exactly to the phone). Since i now have the iphone 4, i could not find information on weather this was compatible or not. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it does fit the iphone 4 and works beautifully right out of the box. It actually has a small adapter built in, and when removed will also retrofit the iphone 3. Overall and excellent product, made with great quality.
