A rule of thumb for simplifying the sale of a wireless terminal to a mobile merchant is to offer a terminal that uses the same wireless network as the merchant’s cell phone. Using this technique gives your merchant confidence that the terminal will work in the same locations as their cell phone and provides a way to quickly check for coverage. Apriva offers support on AT&T / T-mobile (GSM/GPRS), Sprint (CDMA) and Verizon (CDMA).

Today’s tip is intended to help you present an ROI model to your prospective merchant who may have a need for wireless but is concerned with the higher price of the terminal hardware.
How Wireless Can Reduce Costs for Your Merchant
Example 1: Mobile Merchants: Card Present vs. Card Not Present Discount Rates
• If an average wireless merchant transacts 100 times per month, with an average ticket of $60.00 and a 1.0% difference in discount, the monthly savings will be approximately $60.00 in fees.
• Eliminating the need to call the office saves a minimum of 5 minutes, at $10.00 per hour, saving $0.83 per transaction or $83.00 for the month.
• Merchants will also experience the soft dollar benefits of better chargeback protection with Card Present.
• Card present can save your merchant $143.00 per month. A clear return on investment to justify the higher cost of a wireless terminal.
