Works just fine and great service

This app is straight forward and seems to work perfectly. I had a few problems, but the customer support people were excellent and helped me solve all issues.

Great App

I have had this app since it first came out. I really really like it. The company provides excellent service and the fees are very good. I work in a hair salon and this app has been so great for checking out my clients. And my clients love the convenience. The fees are so much less than what the owner would charge me to use her service. And the money is deposited directly into my account and I have it within a day or so. I would strongly recommend this app to anyone .... I love it ....

A bit expensive but VERY convenient

I like this app a lot! I have it on two iPhones and two iPads. Being an Apple consultant I'm in people's homes and businesses daily. When I'm done helping them and if they want to pay with a CC it's very impressive that I can bust out my iPhone and charge their card right on the spot anywhere I am. I wish the developer had an iPad version and a way to lower my rates. great interface and history reporting.

LOVE love LOVE love LOVE this app!!!

Being in direct sales, I am always on the go. I was with another company with a Hypercom T4100 terminal and I hated lugging that thing around from party to party. Then, one evening, my boyfriend saw the iPhone office apps commercial and said, "Babe, you should get THAT!" I immediately jumped online and did my research of ALL the credit card terminal apps that are available right now. Althought Inner Fence's app is one of the most expensive, it's worth every freakin' penny!! They had a promo running when I signed up where they sent me a $50 iTunes gift card as soon as I emailed them my app purchase receipt!! So, basically, a FREE app! Their customer service is outstanding -- ask for Brad! :-) You simply cannot go wrong with this app! A+, Inner Fence!

CC Terminal Review

I use this app to process credit cards on my iPhone. It's very easy to use and I really like that the customers receipt is emailed to them automatically. Simply inter the customers info and hit charge and the money shows up in my bank account in 2-3 days. There is a card swipe that you can get that connects to the bottom of your phone but I didn't bother to get it. I just key in the card info myself, it's very easy. Would recommend this app to anyone who would like to accept credit cards on their smart phone and doesn't want to spend lots of money for a portable credit card machine.

Really Helps Increase Revenue

Perfect little app.
This is a great app, that has really changed the way that I do business.
Being able to take deposits while at networking events ANYWHERE with a cell-phone signal. This means that I can secure bookings and email a pdf transaction receipt immediately to the client. You can type in your own thank you message with confirmation of date and time of the booking too.
Great online interface, great support teams, and very easy to use. THIS IS MY FAVOURITE APP...!!!
As a freelance photographer, it really opens up the opportunities.
Without this app, I simply would not be able to do the business I am today.
Even without the card swipe, I just have to say "I LOVE THIS APP".
When I initially researched taking credit cards, I looked at all my options. I went to my bank, but at the time they did not support the Mac platform, I looked at static terminals, wireless terminals, web-based terminals &c. This was by far the most versatile and well supported piece of kit out there, and I didn't need to buy any hardware to start.
Any app that pays for itself in multiples in the first month is well worth getting.
The processing fees associated with the actual merchant services piece are right in line with their competitors, so make your life easy - Stop looking around for comparable apps, and get this one...

Unbelievable app!

I own a furniture/mattress company on Maui, Hawaii and have been using a standard merchant account through a phone line for a about a year... I heard about this app from a friend and decided to do some research. After a two day process we were up and running and its the most simple and money saving application I have ever used! No matter what anyone says, the credit card fees are comparable to a bank, but you don't have to pay for internet/phone(if you have internet service on your phone), no contract and no set up or equipment fees. It has worked everytime for us with no problems. We take it on the road for deliveries all the time and it does the trick. One concern we had was that people would be sceptical about us swipping their card on our phone due to fraud, however we haven't had any problems after 100's of transactions, in fact most people think its awesome! Get this app!

Have used from the beginning

I was involved with the Credit Card Terminal app from the very first time I saw the Apple ad on TV nearly two years ago. Ryan, the co-founder of the company was very helpful in getting me setup initially (I understand the sign up procedure is much less cumbersome now). My company (Evidents - Mobile Dent Repair) has benefitted greatly from being the first company in Canada to have mobile credit card capability through the iPhone. This fact even helped us recently win Victoria's 10-To-Watch competition through Douglas Magazine - Mar/April 2011.

As for it's function - my customers are always amazed at how simple and easy this is: I just type in the card #, expiry and amount - then the Charge button. It only takes seconds. Of course you can add more detailed info if you want, or even send an email receipt - but most customers don't request this... so it's very quick and easy.

Any minor problems I've encountered (usually as a result of an update) have been immediately fixed with a quick email to Innerfence - I have not experienced any downtime. And no, I have absolutely no ties to this company whatsoever - I just like their app.

Good App, great customer service!

Have been using this app for over a year now, and Merchant Focus has been fantastic with their customer service. We sell goods at trade shows around the world, and this app has been used all over, and it just works. The emailed receipt makes customers happy, the quick deposit into our account makes me happy. Liz at Merchant Focus is just fantastic.... we had to open a second account recently, and as I waited until the absolute last minute, she got us approved, and setup in about 3 hours.. Just amazing. I highly highly recommend working with these folks.. they do care about small business people, and will solve any problem you toss their way.

So easy and inexpensive!

When looking for options to charge credit/debit cards at craft and trade shows in our business, I was taken aback by the enormous cost for a terminal and additional fees...until I discovered the Credit Card Terminal by Inner Fence! Our customers are amazed at the ease of swiping their cards and a receipt being delivered to their inbox. We've never had a problem with it. One of the best apps yet!
