## What is AprivaPay Point of Sale?

Accept Any Payment, Anywhere Your Business Takes You with AprivaPay Point of Sale™ 

AprivaPay Point of Sale is the affordable payment solution that lets you run your business from your iOS mobile device, while accepting any payment type.

Mobile Payment Application for Mobile Phones, Tablets, and Registers

The AprivaPay Point of Sale app turns your device into a mobile point of sale, allowing you to process non-cash payments, as well as record cash-based sales. Set sales tax rates and tipping right in the app, offer cash discounts, and leverage bar codes and images to create specific inventory groups to expedite sales.

Type, Scan, Swipe, Dip, Tap, Get Paid. Accept any payment type with AprivaPay Point of Sale. 

•	Virtual Terminal – No POS? No problem. Record cash transactions, type in credit card information, or scan credit card numbers using our OCR-technology Card Scan feature, all in-app. Or, use our companion web-based dashboard Merchant Studio with everything you need to run your business, including advanced reporting, inventory, and data management.
•	Credit and Debit – Swipe, dip, or tap credit and debit card transactions.
•	Mobile Wallets – Accept NFC payments from mobile wallets such as ApplePay®, Google Pay®, and Samsung Pay®
•	Campus Cards – Apriva is one of the only payment gateways that can process transactions from closed-loop methods of payment, such as campus cards and military ID cards.
•	Generate Invoices - Send digital invoices via text message or email directly from your AprivaPay app or Merchant Studio, great for curbside pickup, order-ahead, or generating invoices on-location.
•	Card-Not-Present Tokenization - Our Card Not Present (CNP) or “card on file” tokenization means customers don’t have to show their cards at all, and allows merchants to accept CNP payment methods such as biometrics, QR codes, stored subscription information, and more.

### 3/5 — Was great — now only ok

*2020-06-02*

I loved this app until recent update took Face ID away. Now it’s a pain because I have go get my password before I can use it. Not helpful when trying to run a business. Please give Face ID back to iPhone users!!!!

### 2/5 — Stay away from this company!!!

*2019-11-01*

My small business tried out apriva pay for almost a year....half way through the year they put out an update and it kept a bugging out and not working on our tablet...every time we called customer service they tried to blame us saying the problem was on our end. When we finally got to someone that would actually help us ( almost a month after the problems started). Found out the new update only worked on apple products and android devices newer than 2016..their solution was for my company to go buy new tablets.... awful customer service, not small business friendly..my advice avoid them if you can!

### 2/5 — No Card reader on iPhone 7

*2017-07-29*

Can't use a card reader with the jack input on the iphone 7's 3.5mm adapetr

### 1/5 — Lost way  too much business

*2016-10-03*

On three different markets have lost business due to this app not working properly. going back to Square.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2016-06-29*

Everything was great until 6/9/16, when we stopped getting any receipts---email OR text. Very unhappy with app and considering switching to something else.

### 1/5 — Not working properly

*2015-11-14*

I can not get this app to load correctly. It stays sideways when it shouldn't, it will not give me a sales history anymore, it is refusing to scan cards, and it is no longer user friendly.

### 1/5 — Bad update

*2015-11-06*

This was a 5star app until the recent update.  It's not convenient anymore. I work in the beauty industry and find this app horrible now. It used to give me the total of my tip and tax separately.  It would be broken down daily and weekly and monthly for me but now since the update, it doesn't do that. You can go into the back office of the app (which takes forever to load if the you are using the iPad for payments) and check your total but it does not break it down for you. Now I have to sit there with a calculator and do it myself. What a waste of time. I'm afraid I have to go back to Square because Square made it much more convenient to use.

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2015-09-14*

This app used to be pretty good, until the newest update. It crashes all of the time. Also, the reports section is not as good. I have to choose to view reports as one day, one week, or one month. I can no longer select specific days.

### 2/5 — Bugs in this app

*2014-03-22*

Well, I got my new card reader & while it works on my iphone 5 there are issues that even tech support hasn't been able to resolve. 

When trying to input a dollar amount for a sale you have to swipe the bottom tab upward to open the keyboard to type it in. For some reason the tab at the bottom doesn't show up most of the time so there is no way to swipe it. 

This, in my opinion is a fatal flaw. If you can't access the keyboard to key in the total amount for a sale you cannot process the sale.

This needs to be fixed...ASAP!!!!

I might have to go back to using my Pay Pal card reader
