A NEW APP available now in Ireland will allow companies to do businesses anywhere they go with the ability to process card payments on their mobile phone.
MobileMerchant enables small businesses to accept payments using a Bluetooth Chip and PIN reader that connects to the App to process the payment using a Blackberry or Android smartphone or tablet.
The app has been launched in Ireland by Elavon, a global payment solutions provider and is aimed at smaller companies who need to be able to process payments on the move.
Businesses simply download the App and enter account configuration credential provided by Elavon.
Elavon said the product provides full security and support for Chip and PIN cards, magnetic stripe cards and card-not-present transactions.
Cardholder data is securely captured and encripted using the PIN pad to ensure that no information is captured and stored by the smartphone.
A receipt is then sent to the customer by email or text message and businesses can access and monitor transaction data online.
Deirdre Keogh of The Beauty Spot in Aughrim, Co Wicklow, was among the first to use the product and said the app will open up new opportunities for her.
“As a beautician, I don’t want to be tied to my salon,” she said. ”Elavon has provided me with a payment solution that I can take with me to my customers’ homes, to wedding parties or other out of salon events.”
The app is free and can be downloaded here.
Sorry to hear of his passing,the Moody Blues produced some classic rock albums,
Ray Thomas gave the Moodies their other worldly sound with his excellent flute playing. As well as as “Nights” his flute on other tunes such as When Youre A Free Man, For My Lady etc. He is now part of the Universe and will now live on forever.
“When you stop and think about it you won’t believe it’s true
, All the love you’ve been given has all been meant for you”
RIP Ray Thomas
I have ‘To Our Children’s Children’s Children’ in my car.

With the way music is going the rock & roll hall of fame will run out of bands to induct
Were not as big in the US as other territories. Isnt it based on US success mainly?

Moody blurs a great group have seen them a number of times , Ray gone beyond the stars
@John Halligan: you can say that again
Homer: Argh, it’s the Moody Blues!
Graeme Edge: Cold-hearted Homer, ditching his wife, while ancient Ned runs for his life…
Justin Hayward: Chips of red, and blue, and white, but we decide which…
John Lodge: Can the poems, it’s arse-whipping time!
Ray Thomas: (pulling out a knife) I want fatty!
The Moodies were / are my favourite band, their contribution to popular music is considerably, when Justin Hayworth joined them with his song writing and singing ability they became a major musical presence
Farewell Ray, thanks for the memories & the wonderful music, from my favorite band of all time.
have your say
