Keep your customers satisfied with the convenience of these mobile payment apps and services.
It's a familiar problem for many small business owners. A potential customer wants to buy your product or pay for a service. You only accept cash and she needs to pay with a card. Best case scenario, the customer is inconvenienced and seeks out an ATM. The worst? You lose a sale today and even in the future.
Fortunately, smartphone apps make it easier than ever to accept mobile payments without hassle. If you're a small business owner, learn how you can use the small business apps below with your Net10 smartphone to make doing business simple.
