Frequently Asked Questions

What is CHARGE Anywhere®?
CHARGE Anywhere® is a leading technology services company that provides cutting-edge mobile payment solutions for merchants in mobile environments.
How does CHARGE Anywhere®'s Mobile Payment App work?
CHARGE Anywhere®'s Mobile Payment App gets installed on your cellular phone. To use the service you need to have an existing Merchant Service Account that accepts card payments. To process a transaction you enter the amount of a sale and the app securely transmits the data through our payment gateway to your processor and obtains an authorization. Within 3-5 seconds approval is displayed on your cellular phone and a customer receipt may be printed.
What do I need to get started?
You need a compatible cellular phone and a merchant account with any major payment processor to get started.
How much does it cost?
Our standard Mobile Payment App costs only $9.99 per month with no contracts, setup fees or hidden fees.
What cell phones does it work with?
Our Mobile Payment App is compatible with 98% of cell phones made within the last 4 years. See our compatible cellular phone page for more details and to check your exact phone.
Do I need to use/buy the Bluetooth® Swiper / Printer?
No, you can use the Mobile Payment App without the Bluetooth® Swiper / Printer. You can simply key in the credit card information and process. Keyed in transactions have approximately a 0.50% higher processing rate over swiped transactions.
How do I get a credit card merchant account?
You can obtain a credit card Merchant Service Account by applying with a Merchant Service Provider or by using our convenient Free Quote Service.
Where can CHARGE Anywhere be used?
The CHARGE Anywhere Mobile Payment App can be used anywhere you receive data reception on your cellular phone. Since transaction time to receive authorization is between 3-5 seconds, you can often transmit where service is limited or intermittent.
Why don’t you offer Merchant Accounts?
CHARGE Anywhere focuses on empowering mobile payments and we believe that our efforts should be spent exclusively in that area. When our service is combined with another merchant account you will receive the better pricing and features than using an all-in-one solution.
