Love at First Swipe 

It only took me 5 seconds to fall in love

2 minutes can seem like a lifetime. Heck, 60 seconds can seem like a lifetime. When your customers are waiting for you, time is of the essence. At the 2006 FileMaker convention I had quite a dilemma. I needed the ability to quickly process credit cards at our booth. Last year I attempted to log on an Internet credit card gateway and process credit cards. This process was painfully slow, sometimes taking as long as 2-3 minutes per transaction. I could have run a mile in the time it took to help 3 customers. I actually saw some men grow beards as they patiently waited…women too. I finally wound up using the good old card slider and typing their orders in later.

Double the Work

I needed an easy solution that would be quick, practical, and secure. I began working on a solution I called IPOST CC (or as is it is know in Spain, IPOST Yes, Yes) and put it through its paces at the 2007 FileMaker Convention. I was able to cut actual transaction time down to…5 seconds with minimal data entry. Customers were amazed by the speed, especially when they realized it was a FileMaker driven solution. Lines began to form behind our booth instead of in front of the booth, as customer’s wanted to see that we were actually “processing” the cards and not just entering the data.

We’ve got Domino’s® Pizza beat!

IPOST CC can be completely configured and ready to accept Credit Cards in less than 5 Minutes. IPOST CC is amazingly simple to set-up and use. In three quick sentences I can explain the entire process. Picture this in your mind. Open IPOST CC and click the “enter” button and fill in the information required in the set-up screen. Once complete, open the products screen and enter the products you wish to sell, along with their prices and descriptions. Navigate to the Orders layout, you are now set up and ready to go. There’s more!

What do I get?

IPOST CC is a completely Unlocked FileMaker POS system. That means you get access to all of the bells and whistles. The solution is actually so simple; you can integrate IPOST CC with your current solution in just minutes. You also get the new IPOST plug-in. The IPOST plug-in securely transmits data from FileMaker to the web, processes the card and returns the results back to FileMaker.

Music, Pictures and more…

Aside from it’s important role of chief credit card processor numerous features have been added to the IPOST plug-in. IPOST gives you the ability to grab images, text, wave files and entire html pages from the web and display them gently in FileMaker. Remember, IPOST CC is a completely OPEN FileMaker database. Feel free to customize the database to your liking. (Please no fake wood paneling.

The IPOST CC solution is available for $129.00. This includes the complete FileMaker POS software and the IPOST plug-in. The Magtek card scanner is sold separately from our solution, but is available for $99.00 this includes shipping and handling. If you own a small business, this solution is perfect for you! If you travel or sell your products at trade shows, all you need is a laptop, our software and a card reader. You can quickly process orders in seconds! IPOST CC has hundreds of uses. Which one is right for you?

How fast can you say Quick?

Watch as I set up a product in the IPOST CC database, enter customer information, swipe and process a card, and print a receipt in less than three minutes.

Watch IPOST CC in action!
