PAYware Mobile Application Question-Can I Receive a Phone Call while Processing a Credit Card?
A common question asked by merchants interested in processing credit cards with their iPhone and PAYware mobile is can the application multi-task? Can I receive a phone call while I am processing a credit or debit card transaction? The answer is yes. iPhone merchants can still receive a phone call, even if they are in the middle of processing a sale.
This is how it works. A prompt will come up on the screen when a call is coming in. It will ask the user if they would like to accept the call, or decline it. If the user accepts the call, the transaction is put on hold, so to speak. Once the call is abated, the app will ask for the merchants password, and the transaction will be resumed.
Android and ROAMpay Credit Card Processing PCI Certified
The Android Smartphone equipped with the ROAMpay application processes payment cards securely. According to ROAMdata, ROAM is PCI certified, and highly secure like a point-of-sale device.
Credit card information is double-encrypted and never stored on the phone, keeping sensitive data out of the wrong hands.
