Road Merchant enables Blackberry credit card processing

Rapadev LLC, developer of the iPhone credit card processing app ProcessAway, announced the launch of Road Merchant, a mobile credit card processing application for the BlackBerry.

The software works on any BlackBerry with firmware 4.2.1 or greater, and can process transactions over a number of network connections for that device, including MDS, WAP 2.0, Direct TCP or Wifi.

Road Merchant works with Authorize.net (both e-commerce and retail accounts), select Authorize.net emulators, and also the NMI gateway, offering millions of existing merchants the ability to process mobile payments with their current provider. For new merchants, Rapadev has formed a strategic alliance with Prolific Payment Solutions, LLC.

For accounts that require card swipe and receipt printing capabilities, Road Merchant can interface with a compact Bluetooth Card Reader/Printer, making the product viable for a retail/high-volume environment.
