Rapadev, LLC, the development company behind ProcessAway, has released iPay POS Credit Card Terminal for iPhone.

“Since we released our innovative solution back in 2008, there has been a proliferation of credit card apps in the AppStore,” states Randy Palermo, Member of Rapadev, LLC and lead developer. “While they all essentially do the same thing, they have restrictions or shortcomings to their operation. Most competing Apps require you to use a specific merchant account provider or gateway, or they don’t have a card reader available, or they are not PA-DSS certified. We developed iPay POS to address these issues.”

The software performs captures, authorizations, voids and credits. It utilizes multiple database tables for recording transactions and repeating sale information, such as order, shipping, and customer info. There is also an option to add a gratuity to the final charge.

iPay POS supports many gateways, including gateways outside the United States. A partial listing of supported gateways include: Authorize.net, NMI, Ogone, PayLeap, PayJunction, PayPal Payments Pro, RedFin, Skipjack and PayTrace. Gateways that wish to be included in iPay POS should submit their API documentation to Rapadev for inclusion in a future update.

Rapadev has worked closely with ITSCO to have iPay POS be the first Apple sanctioned application for the iMag Magnetic Swipe Reader for iPhone. The iMag is a secure MSR capable of reading up to three tracks with a bi-directional swipe. The reader is available for ordering directly within iPay POS or at http://cardreaderstore.com.

iPay POS has been coded to strict PCI standards and has undergone PA-DSS testing. The software has passed PA-DSS certification. “It was important for us to make the investment in PA-DSS certification,” continues Mr. Palermo. “If a merchant uses a non PA-DSS certified application, that merchant is opening him/herself up to possible liability issues if any sort of fraud or other security breach happens, even if the merchant or application had nothing to do with the incident. When a customer looking for someone to
place blame on asks a merchant using iPay POS if their card was processed on a certified secure application, that merchant can confidently say yes.”

iPay POS Credit Card Terminal is available in the Apple AppStore as a free download. The application comes with the ability to perform unlimited test transactions and 10 live transactions. Additional transactions may be acquired with an In-App purchase. Further information, video, screenshots, and FAQs can be found at http://www.ipaypos.com.

Android Application for Mobile Professionals – Contact: Finder – Allows Job Seekers and Sales Professionals to Find Contact Information on People at Any Company or Organization, and Automatically Add Them to Their Contact Database.

Macrosoft, Inc., a leading-edge software design and development company, announces the availability of a new Android application, Contact: Finder. Like Macrosoft’s other Android applications, Contact: Finder is designed for “on the go” mobile professionals.

How often has a user wanted to contact an individual on LinkedIn, Facebook, or other social networking sites using Web 2.0 approaches? Those sites however, generally do not provide direct contact information. Contact: Finder solves this problem.

The Android application Contact: Finder is specifically designed for not only sales representatives and other
professionals looking for a contact, but also job seekers searching for a hiring manager or HR professional.

Contact: Finder has this unique ability to directly connect people. The application automatically inserts the selected individuals into the user’s contact list on the phone, as well as their e-mail contacts. This eliminates the need to re-key data. Contact: Finder lets the user search the Internet by entering just a few keywords, such as company name, title, person’s name, etc., whereupon the application does the rest. Using advanced Web-crawling technology, artificial intelligence, heuristics and text parsing, Contact: Finder has the ability to often find multiple phone numbers and email addresses for an individual.

Once selected, the individual’s data is automatically inserted into a unique group within the phone’s contact database. Android then synchronizes with the user’s account on the Web, which allows for one to have instant access to the contact’s information.

The free version allows users to find up to ten contacts. The user will have to upgrade to the “pro” version if they would like to have any additional contacts beyond the first ten. Pricing and availability is currently being finalized.

Corporate licenses are also available, and integration with major CRM packages is coming soon.
