Payfirma Offers Android Mobile Payment App

Payfirma, which provides mobile point of sale apps for businesses in Canada, has released its Android Mobile Payment App. Already available on the iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Blackberry, anyone with a Payfirma merchant account can now accept all major credit cards and VISA Debit on their Android mobile and tablet devices, anytime, anywhere.

The Android app has all the updated features from the recent mobile payment revamp released in January of this year. Users will be able to swipe a card, sign on the screen, and send their customers an e-receipt complete with a map of the location of the purchase.

Android powered businesses will have access to the real-time sales summary that tracks merchants daily, weekly, and month-to-date sales, location tagging, and multiple language support.

“We’ve been working around the clock to release Android support for our mobile payment application suite,” notes Michael Gokturk, founder of Payfirma. “All of our payment software is designed in collaboration with businesses.”

Payfirma is also working on NFC (near-field communication) support for all its mobile payment applications, enabling users to simply wave or tap their NFC enabled credit or debit card to Payfirma’s point-of-sale system to accept payments.

Released Monday, March 19, the payment app is free to download in the Android Market or on Payfirma’s website and is compatible with most Android devices.
