I recently made a post on another thread talking about a mobile credit card payment app called Flint. This is used to accept credit cards from your customers on the go. I downloaded it and used it for the first time and wanted to give some feedback on my experience. But, first I just wanted to give a little background on how flint works. It is a little different than other credit card payment options because it doesnt use the swiping hardware like square and companies, rather it scans the card number on the card.
So, I tried it out and everything worked out fine. Registrations, download and linking bank account was pretty easy and the best part is you get to use it the same day. Some online reviews complained about registration, the app, and scanning the number takes too long. I didnt have any problems with these issues. I was a little worried about how the customer would feel about me scanning their credit card because they might think I am taking a picture of the credit card. When I did the transaction I told the customer that this payment option doesnt require a swipe but, scans it. They were totally cool the whole transaction and I sent an emailed receipt to their email. Everything went pretty smooth and easy.
The only thing that got me worried was that I opened the app the next day and the screen said "transaction declined" . I called customer service and they said that the payment went through and to reopen the app. That seemed to fix the "transaction declined" message. I got the money in my checking account today. I would say that the whole process was easy and pretty painless. You can also send email invoices to customers email address where there is a button to click and pay the invoice through the email.
So far my short term review is very good and hopefully my long term review will be the same. Its a newer company so you never know but, so far so good.
