Wave Offers New Small Business Credit Card Acceptance App

Wave, which makes cloud-based small business accounting tools, has announced the launch of a new mobile app that accepts credit card payments on the go: Payments by Wave for iOS. The app, which integrates with the full Wave suite of small business software, helps small business owners process credit card payments, record cash payments, and issue receipts- all from their mobile devices.

For many small businesses, cashflow and payment systems often suffer from inefficient and outdated processes. For example, a home contractor might do a job and then head to their car, where they’ll record a payment in a notebook, go home and create then email a receipt, add a sale to their record book, and filter all of that along to their accountant.

“That endless to-do list is a killer for small business owners. It’s stressful, it’s never-ending and it’s entirely unnecessary,” says Wave CEO Kirk Simpson. “With Payments by Wave now available for iOS, not only can small business owners get paid on the spot, but the extra record-keeping steps are automatically taken care of for them.”
