Maybe you’re running a retail store in Anchorage. Or you may have a rustic cabin-based restaurant in a remote area. Or you might have a boutique tour service that brings out-of-state visitors to see breathtaking locations.
Whatever your business may be, having a mobile payment processing solution for your customers is no longer a “nice to have”. It’s become a “must-have.”
Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay – consumers have embraced the convenience of digital wallets, and virtual credit and debit cards. Paying with your phone means less to carry, and having multiple payment options readily available.
But having a mobile payment solution doesn’t just benefit your customers. It has huge benefits for your business.

Let’s look at the ways mobile payment solutions are a game-changer for business owners and entrepreneurs in Alaska.
Flexibility to Accept Payments Anywhere
Mobile is the keyword in “mobile payment solutions”. Current devices can go anywhere, anytime. They can conduct transactions using either wifi or cellular connections. And they fit in the palm of your hand. Just grab one on your way to a pop-up, trade show, or anywhere you need to take payments.
And when you take payments anywhere, your business can expand to wherever the customers are, no matter how remote. You can do business wherever your phone has reliable service.
Most mobile payment processing solutions are easy to set up and intuitive to use. You can be up and running in minutes.
There are standalone devices for mobile payments like the Clover Flex. Smaller devices, like Clover Go, utilize Bluetooth to connect to your mobile device (phone or tablet).
They accept credit card transactions (dip or tap), debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and more.
Mobile payment solutions also work beautifully as part of your multi-point point-of-sale ecosystem. They allow you to process payments from table-side to curb-side to dock-side. And let customers use their preferred payment option. That means less wait time and happier customers.
Connect with Text, Email, and Print
Mobile payment solutions do more than just process payments. They can send receipts to customers on the spot, via SMS text, email, or both. Some devices (like Clover Flex) even have built-in receipt printers.
Customers get verification of their transactions in seconds. That means less worry and more trust in your business.
Safe, Secure Real-time Payment Processing Solutions
Today’s mobile payment solutions process transactions securely in real-time. The payment process is easy and fast. No calling or keying in transactions later. They verify sufficient funds are available, and let you capture signatures at the time of sale.
Credit card processing is handled securely. With PCI-compliant technology and point-to-point encryption, your customer data and merchant account are safe.
Expand Your Business with Rewards Programs and More
Mobile payment solutions also come with new business opportunities. Clover, a leading provider of mobile payment processing solutions, automatically includes other business options.
You can take advantage of customer loyalty programs and rewards programs. Or take advantage of their e-commerce integrations to create shopping cart solutions and process online transactions.
You also get real-time reporting so you can understand sales trends and analyze customer behavior.
The right mobile payment solution can take your business to a whole new level.
