    If you accept payments while selling goods and services, Apple Pay can help you speed up the payment process while securely accepting payments. Since there is no need to stick a card into a machine, users won't have to fumble looking for a card when they can put their whole wallet on Apple Pay and check out easily.

    This tool is most usable when used in parallel with Sage's accounting management software, as with other accounting systems it can generate errors, leaving room for other credit card payment processor alternatives to exist and be preferred by other potential users for their overall performance. It is promising the ability to develop transaction reports in summary or detailed form, resulting in a better management of income to then make the distribution of budgets in the company, thus achieving better planning and performance of our work. This service allows the processing of payments through touch screen card devices at POS points of sale without having to be sitting at your laptop, fortunately with face to face payments companies with fixed establishments can get their money faster, which constantly benefits the flow of money.

    Pros
    Apple
    • The double click which launches it couldn't be easier; you don't even have to open your phone and find the app.
    • It's pretty much fool proof from there, as just holding your phone near the reader is sufficient for success.
    • Haptic feedback ensures that I know the payment registered.
    • I have full faith and confidence that the transaction was executed securely.

    • Simple. If you use a Sage accounting product the integration is seamless.
    • PCI compliant. PCI compliance is assured through the provided Trustwave audit.
    • Secure. Keeps all card numbers remotely, none stored locally where they could be exposed by a hack or dishonest employee.
    • Robust. API for integrating into multiple web platforms and extensive reporting capabilities through the secure web portal.

    Cons
    Apple
    • At times, my Apple Pay will pop up unintentionally. Perhaps there can be more safeguards around that.
    • Apple Pay is not super great if I need to make a return. For any return, I've found that paper receipts are superior.
    • Apple Pay sometimes requires very specific positioning when scanning the phone, which is frustrating.

    • When you are reversing a credit card it just deducts from your total batch for the day. Instead of showing a separate charge out of the account. That can cause confusion if someone else is doing your bank reconciliation.
    • It would be nice is Sage Pay could copy over client emails as well as the address and other information so that you can send that email confirmation of charge without having to go back to pull it up.
    • If Sage could post it as a total deposit instead of each individual charge for the day that would also save time with bank reconciliation.

    When I had my Android/Samsung phone, I tried Samsung's version of Apple Pay and it was terrible. It was very glitchy, and sometimes I would get a notification that I paid for something when I wasn't even in a checkout screen, like I was just browsing the internet or something and I'd get a notification! It was alarming and I quickly uninstalled the app and never used it again.

    It plays better with Sage 50. It has better associates should you have an issue. It's reasonably priced.

    • Eliminates clerical errors in recording paymens.
    • Eliminates one step in the payment reconciliation process by automatically posting payments to their respective transactions.
