Your Business on the Move!
Turn your mobile device into a portable cash register and make that sale on the go.

The Beanstream Mobile Advantage:

• Provides credit card, cash or cheque transactions anywhere you are.
• Offers fully encrypted card swipe technology with no card data stored on your mobile device.
• Works with all major merchant account acquirers or any of Beanstream’s turnkey solutions.
• Gives the option of calculating and applying two distinct tax rates.
• Seamlessly moves you between any one of up to 150 currencies even from within the transaction.
• Offers email, text message, or printed receipts directly from your iPhone.
• Supports multiple users so you can set unique permissions for different members of your team.
• Provides access to detailed transaction reports through your mobile app and the online member area.

Beanstream Advanced Security Features:

• The app is passcode protected, requiring users to know the three pieces of login information.
• When a card is swiped, data is immediately encrypted and rendered unreadable to anyone attempting to intercept card information in transit.
• As the merchant, you never see or access the actual card number once the transaction is processed. Card data is registered in the Beanstream Mobile app as a masked value and even partial card data is never stored on the phone.
• There is no need to worry about losing your phone. You can update your credentials anytime, anywhere through our secure online portal.
• To process the transaction, data is encrypted again and sent through Beanstreams PCI Level 1 compliant payment gateway. This is the same secure gateway technology used to safely process millions of transactions since we opened our doors in 2000.
• To complete the transaction process, the app can require the customer’s signature and then, just like in any standard retail scenario, you can check to confirm card ownership.
• We set per account velocity limits to protect your business and keep transaction volumes within your expected range. If your activity exceeds our expected threshold, well notify you.

Pros and cons of Beanstream Mobile Payments app for iPhone and iPad

Beanstream Mobile Payments app good for

I have looked at a lot of mobile payment solutions and this one is the first that doesnt look like someone just took their website and tried to kludge it into an app. Extremely well thought out, intuitive and full featured. First app that I have seen that actually does multiple currencies and works with all major banks. I love the winking bean, whoever thought of that has a real sense of humor!
Had been using CC Terminal though set up to use with Beanstream. Was very disappointed to see the former charging so much now - and very relieved to find Beanstream offering this. Works flawlessly; clean interface. -rob h@inclusive

Some bad moments

Trying to login throws a XML malformed error. Looks like no one tested the app...
I wont be able to login to the app until I get my Beanstream account. However, it is a beautifully designed app and I look forward to using it as a Square alternative. Looks very crisp and clean!
I hope they white label this to the right company as an alternative to Square. Otherwise, clean and functional app that does exactly as described.
