Today, mobile traffic accounts for nearly 48 percent of all online visits, according to the latest available data from Statistica, a top statistics portal. And because of the increased functionality of phones, a similar amount of folks are ordering from their mobile devices. That’s why more businesses are started to take payments from cell phones and other mobile devices with POS systems. And here are several benefits of doing so.
Reduces Customer Waiting Times
Whether you use your Mobile POS System in addition to your cash register POS or by itself, it can certainly reduce customer waiting times. For example, if you own a bar and have hordes of people waiting to pay their cover charges, collecting payments by phone can speed up the process. Similarly, if you run a Yoga business or process transactions away from your main setting — outside for example — using a mobile POS is not only convenient but a cinch.
Less Paper Mobile
POS transactions enable you to collect payments without having to issue paper receipts. Instead, the receipts are sent by email or text. Moreover, you can help save the environment or even a few trees by eliminating some of those paper transactions.
More Business
Some people may get discouraged if lines or waiting times are too long at your place of business. So instead of having people walk away, you can do the transaction with a Mobile POS System and make more money.
Economies of Scale
If you use regular and mobile POS systems through your supplier, you may enjoy discounts by having multiple services. That is, you pay less than you would for each individual service. Some of these mobile POS companies also provide other ancillary services, including online payments and loans from which you can benefit.
Use Emails For Promotions
You can use the email addresses you receive from mobile POS transactions for promoting other products or offering discounts or coupons.
