What do I actually need to start accepting mobile payments with Host Merchant Services?

You’ll need three things:

  • A merchant account with Host Merchant Services,
  • A smartphone or tablet (Apple or Android), and
  • A mobile reader or compatible mobile POS app such as HMSPay or Clover Go.

We help you choose the right hardware (simple Bluetooth reader vs. full handheld terminal), set up the app, and test your first transaction so you’re confident before you go live. In many cases, mobile readers are included at low or no up-front cost for qualified merchants as part of a custom package.
