PC-based wireless credit card processing

To process wireless over a PC, a merchant must have a computer that is connected to the internet, and a PC based processing program such as PC Charge, Quickbooks, or an online virtual terminal. Businesses can key transactions into their computer for real-time processing, or a separate Card Scanner can also be used to swipe the customers credit card in order to qualify for a retail processing rate.

If a business wants a completely mobile PC based solution, they can use the same software on a laptop that is equipped with a wireless network adapter and access to the internet Via, a wireless router or network hub. This method can be extremely useful as many public areas have wireless network hubs available.

If you already have a laptop that has a wireless adapter or a PC card slot, a PC based wireless processing system is a great way to accept credit cards.

Completely Mobile PC Processing:
Another option for PC users is to use a cellular data PC Card, that will enable the computer to connect to the internet like a cellular telephone. This will allow a merchant to process credit card anywhere that cellular service is available to them. Cellular PC service is something that a business would need to setup directly through a cellular carrier, but most major carriers offer this type of service.

Major Cellular Carriers:
Verizon Wireless
