SwipeSimple
SwipeSimple provides payment acceptance tools for small businesses across Android, iOS, and web, with mobile, terminal, and computer-based processing. Its mobile app supports swiped, dipped, tapped, and keyed card payments, with an optional reader for physical cards; it can also accept payments offline when cell reception is poor. Businesses can manage customers, review purchase histories and sales trends, and export transaction reports compatible with tools such as QuickBooks and Excel. Invoices can be emailed or texted, shared as links, saved as drafts, and configured with automatic payment reminders. The App Marketplace lists QuickBooks Online Sync, Appointments, and Text Loyalty & Reviews, while SwipeSimple says it has no public API or third-party integrations. Connect Zero is $0.00 per free for eligible businesses, with card-paying customers covering a 3.5% card fee. Card-present processing is $2.61; card-not-present processing is $3.51. SwipeSimple is commonly sold with a merchant account and processing agreement through a provider, which handles account support and billing questions.
