Why Globe Charge is a retail game-changer and a must-have
MANILA, Philippines—In doing business, say putting up and running your dream store (whether online or offline), it is essential to have equipment that can accommodate customers who pay cash or via credit card at point-of-sale. Can you imagine the amount of patronage you may potentially lose if you do not have a credit card reader in your store? It’s basically a retail nightmare.
But on the other hand, picture how fast your business will boom if, more than having a traditional credit card reader, you have a device that can process credit card payment transactions anywhere at any given time.
But wait, is there such a device?
In case you missed it, Globe recently offered the retail industry a “game-changing” technological advancement in the form of Globe Charge.
Globe Charge is a mobile card reader that can be easily attached and detached from your smartphone or tablet, and it works wonders.
Here are three spot-on reasons why Globe Charge is both a game-changer and a must-have in the retail industry:
1. It’s mobile and convenient
The Globe Charge Mobile Card Reader can be simply inserted in the audio jack of your smartphone or tablet. It does not require a special type of USB port; therefore it can be used by anyone with these gadgets.
It comes with a mobile application which is available via App Store for iOS users and via Google Play for Android users. Just download the Globe Charge App, register and schedule an appointment for your Know-Your-Merchant (KYM) process. KYM is a one-time validation process of your place of business. Once activated, you can start accepting card payments for your business.
Now is the application simple or complicated to use? That’s where the second point comes from: The application process is easy and hassle-free! You may get your Globe Charge Mobile Card reader through select Globe stores, online (https://globecharge.com.ph) and even bundled to your postpaid plan starting at P499
2. It’s easy to use
You don’t have to be tech-savvy to master the Globe Charge technology. The app is user-friendly and your Globe Charge kit also comes with a quick guide. The tutorial videos can also be found in https://globecharge.com.ph. Just follow these simple steps when doing a business transaction via Globe Charge, and then you’re good to go:
- Insert the Globe Charge Mobile card reader in the audio jack of your smartphone or tablet
- Launch the Globe Charge app and log in
- Enter amount to be charged to customer and swipe the card
- Customer’s card details will automatically fill up
- Your Globe Charge kit also comes with a stylus; ask your customer to sign on your phone or tablet’s screen to complete the transaction
- Your customer can get an electronic transaction receipt via email or SMS.
Then you’re done with the Globe Charge transaction. You may expect your funds to be settled in your GCash wallet as early as the next business day.
3. It has a running Zero Transaction Fees promo
The Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) is the transaction fee deducted from the merchant’s sales. This usually amounts 2.9 percent MDR charge + 0.5 percent withholding tax.
For a limited time only, Globe is waiving fees by imposing no MDR deductions on merchants. This means for a certain period of time, merchants will only pay the 0.5 percent withholding tax.
The Zero Transaction Fees promo runs until March 31.
If you’re looking into improving your business’s customer service, equipping it with the game-changing and must-have Globe Charge is one way to do it—because this platform will enable you to offer your customers a hassle-free payment transaction process.
