Contactless Payments: How Fast Can You Process a Sale?
If you’re a quick-service retailer, here’s a way to lower your costs, save
time on every sale, and increase customer satisfaction.
Contactless Payments can help you process credit cards faster. If you deal
with lots of small tickets while your customers wait in line, this can make
a significant difference.
When you offer Contactless Payment terminals, your customers just tap the
terminal to pay for their purchase. A secure minicontroller with a built-in
antenna and internal memory works with smart chip technology.
Your customer’s card doesn’t need to make a physical connection with your
credit card terminal. Since the card doesn’t switch hands, and there’s no
signature involved, you can move the line more quickly.
With Contactless Payments, Time is MoneyThis "tap and pay" system works great for convenience stores, fast-food
restaurants, movie theaters, drug stores, and gas stations.
Most customers appreciate the extra speed and convenience. As a result they
may favor your business over that of a competitor.
Customers aren’t even limited to credit cards. The smart chip technology
that powers Contactless Payments can fit into watches, key chains, and
almost any kind of handheld device, such as a mobile phone.
In fact, many large companies are working with the major banks to create
specialty Contactless Payment devices, such as key chains with a football or
basketball team’s logo.
It’s Easy to Accept Contactless PaymentsThe technology that drives Contactless Payments is more functional and
sophisticated than radio frequency ID (RFID) systems. It’s designed to be
more secure and smarter. But despite the technical complexity, setup is
relatively easy if you have a major POS terminal provider.
Contactless Payments are already common in many parts of Asia. There have
been more technical issues to resolve in North America, but the technology
is catching on.
Most of the major banks that service merchant accounts are equipped to allow
you to process Contactless Payments. The biggest barrier is the
chicken-and-egg problem: Consumers won’t use Contactless Payments unless a
lot of retailers accept them, while retailers won’t accept them unless
enough consumers are using them.
But if you’re among the early adopters, you could harvest a huge windfall in
prestige and popularity.
