TippingCircle, A Mobile Payment App, Launches Public Beta Offering Personal Payments in 190 Countries

On March 9, 2013, In Tips, Tricks and How-To, By T2Rman


(PRWEB) February 07, 2013

TippingCircle’s mobile payment app makes it easy to exchange money with friends by connecting users with their social networks and PayPal. As more people stop using cash, there is a growing need for personal payments online. TippingCircle provides convenient apps–both mobile and desktop–that truly do make personal payments simple, social, and secure as they claim. The mobile app is designed to make it quick and easy to send money with just a few taps on iPhone, Android, Windows Phone 8, & Blackberry devices.

This new payment service is being embraced by social media users. It expands their social network with a payment profile that makes life more convenient through personal payments. TippingCircle has become a one-stop shop for various types of personal payment methods used online. Group payments and social fundraisers can be acheived using tipping buckets. These buckets can be shared through Facebook, Twitter, and other social networks to collect payments for birthdays, weddings, sports clubs, and other events. Social fundraisers are helping people pay for medical bills, contribute to local non-profits, and support other good causes.

“I’ve always wanted to create an online service that really makes a difference, and now I have!” said James Davis, founder and CEO. “In October we created a tipping bucket for my cousin who is still fighting through cancer treatments and surgeries. I was shocked to see the generosity of family and friends who pitched in thousands of dollars to help pay for the medical bills. I’m excited to be a part of this and I’m dedicated to make TippingCircle a solid and useful service that will help even more people around world.”

Personal payment systems are quickly growing in popularity as people look for simple ways to send money to their friends online. Think of those times when it can be awkward to ask someone for money. TippingCircle adds a social spin to online payments making it easier and less bothersome to request money from someone. Simply send the request and the system will take care of the rest.

All payments are processed through PayPal making this a secure application with a global reach and a quick setup process, especially for people that already have a PayPal account. In addition to PayPal’s security, TippingCircle uses advanced encryption, monitors fraudulent behavior, and each user has a 4-digit PIN that is required when a tip is sent.

Android Phones Get Bluetooth Credit Card Swiping and Receipt Printing for Payment Processing

On March 10, 2011, In Mobile Computing, By admin



Accepting credit cards just got easier for mobile merchants everywhere.


Fullerton, CA (PRWEB) May 14, 2010

Pocket Verifier Professional for Android is now available with the Pocket Spectrum Plus; a complete payment solution that swipes credit cards and prints receipts for the rapidly growing Android mobile platform.

Advanced Merchant Solutions, Inc. (AMSI) has launched a payment solution for the Android, available now in the Android Marketplace as a free application which enables on-the-go merchants to accept credit cards anywhere. This application can be used with the company’s Pocket Spectrum Plus, a Bluetooth 2-track card reader and thermal receipt printer. Coupled together, the Pocket Verifier/Pocket Spectrum system enables any mobile business user to avoid the high cost of “card-not-present” transactions. AMSI further integrates this breakthrough system into a complete solution by packaging it with a combined merchant and gateway account; with no upfront costs, no term commitments, and no cancellation fees.

“This solution really differentiates itself from the rest of the market by incorporating a printer. The marketplace-to-date has had to settle for keyed-in email receipts which really slow down the throughput. In addition, attaching today’s cradle solutions to read cards greatly increases the weight and bulk of the phone. That’s what Bluetooth was invented for… to keep things isolated, light, and efficient,” says Dennis Ideue, the company’s CEO. “Being the developer of the application, the manufacturer of the printer, and the ISO issuing the merchant accounts allows us to give unprecedented value to our customer base,” continues Ideue, “…everything is truly under one umbrella. We make it a simple one-stop mobile shop with one of the best competitive merchant rates in the industry.”

The Pocket Spectrum Plus is currently shipping. Its retail package features Bluetooth, a rugged thermal print mechanism, 2-track magnetic stripe reader, interchangeable lithium-ion batteries, a quick-charge adaptor, and a leather case with integral belt clip. Pocket Verifier Professional for Android is currently available in the Android Marketplace. For more information and further inquiries, visit: http://www.merchantanywhere.com.
