Best Suited for:

  • FusionPay Stripe users who process credit cards in the worker app

Important Information:

Card Readers enable the users in the field worker app to have the ability to swipe, insert, or tap the credit card when they are processing a credit card in the field worker app.

  • Convenience: The card readers are easy to use, and seamlessly integrates with the Service Fusion Field Worker App. 
  • Cost-Effectiveness: Enjoy the lower transaction rates compared to "Card Not Present" (CNP) transactions.
  • Security: Transactions conducted with the card present significantly reduce the risk of fraud, ensuring more secure payment processing. It also offers security to your customer by bypassing the need to type in their card information to accept payment.
  • Efficiency: Technicians in the field can process payments instantly on-site, significantly saving time and simplifying the payment collection process.

Strategic Workflows:

  • When a customer wants to present the technician in the field with a credit card payment, the technician can swipe, insert or tap the credit card using the reader.
