The technological world is constantly evolving and producing new and exciting products designed to make our lives easier.
Once your small business in biz.albertonrecord.co.za has gotten off the ground, you’ll look for ways to streamline operations.
Here’s how SnapScan works
1.) SnapCode
2.) Smartphone
3.) Download SnapScan app
Anyone with a smartphone can download the app which can then be used wherever the special SnapCode is displayed by a merchant. The customer scans the SnapCode with their phone and then confirm the transaction using their unique PIN. The credit or cheque card linked to the app will automatically be debited and the business will receive the funds immediately.
Why should you choose SnapScan as a small business owner?
It’s safe and secure.
SnapScan uses a patented security model that ensures that all transactions and information exchanges are safe and secure. Customers feel comfortable because it’s a simple payment mechanism that is also secure.
Sign up is quick, affordable and easy to manage
It only takes a few minutes to sign up via SnapScan’s website portal. If you’re a Standard Bank account holder, you can complete the entire process online. If you have an account with a different bank, your details will be passed on to a sales agent, who will conduct a site visit at your business premises to complete the registration. There are no recurring or expensive hardware costs to using SnapScan for your business – we only charge a once-off R250 call out fee for the site visit (if required), and a 3 percent transaction fee.
You’ll receive an SMS confirmation every time a transaction made to your SnapCode is successful, so managing your sales will be a breeze.
Your customers will thank you
The easier and more convenient things are, the more likely people are to try them. Gone are the days of having to carry cash and credit cards around.
Funds are settled daily
All transactions are tallied on a daily basis and settled directly to your bank account on the following business day. You’ll also receive daily reports listing all the payments made to you, which make up the settlement amount.
It’s portable
If your small business is one on the go, then SnapScan will make your life that much easier. Simply set it up wherever you are and then wait for your customers to scan. It’s one less thing to have to worry about when running your own business.
