The SmartTrade app allows you to accept card payments from customers by using a sophisticated scanner which picks up a customer's credit- or debit card details. The customer then simply adds the CVV/CVC code from the back of their card and you're all set to process the payment.

The application is fully PCI level 1 compliant which means it's 100% secure and holds the highest level of security achievable in the card industry. In fact, it's impossible to use the camera function or any screen recording functions on your phone while the screen is active, making it impossible to store your customers' card details when using SmartTrade app.

Taking card payments via a Paylink email

If your customer is paying at a later time or are perhaps wary about making their card details known to anyone but themselves, a great tool to use is our online invoicing. This means you can send an invoice to your customer, with a complete breakdown of all costs, and give them a Paylink where they may enter card details and process the payment themselves, without ever having to reveal any sensitive information.
