Ipad credit card software and readers?

johannis

Hello All, i'm hoping there's someone out there who can help me cut through the many and varied internet cul de sacs i'm finding myself in.
i'm looking to use my ipad as a mobile credit card facility. It would only be for occasional use, but whenever i think i've found something suitable i find that its US only or i can find little evidence that its secure.
Can anyone recommend something currently on the market?

Kalixa used to have; Kalixa Pro, (an mPOS for small businesses and sole traders), Kalixa Accept(which allows merchants to accept more than 200 payment methods ) .

You'd have to contact them to find out what they offer now.

Didn't that only work on iPhones? Not seen one that runs on a tablet.

Paypal Here could be a solution

I can vouch for the PayPal card reader. I use it for my business. Easy to use and no merchant account needed. Might not be the cheapest option for transaction fees if you're doing high volumes though.

Thanks for the replies,
I've looked at Paypal, my only concern would be support. We had an issue with them recently which took an age to sort out because its so difficult to get them to respond.
Have you noticed any particular problems with security, chargebacks that kind if thing?

I've found no issues to date. We have a very high turnover going through Paypal but admittedly a very small proportion of it is via the card reader. We use Paypal Website Payments Pro to process card payments on our websites and can count on one hand the problems we've had.

No better or worse than any other payment processor in my experience.
