Also, on top of the Authorize.Net and BNG payment gateways available for customers in US, the newly-released posIPOS 1.8 is fully integrated with the iZettle credit card payment service and mobile card readers, so you can accept credit card payments and process refunds directly from the posIPOS point of sale app for iPad.  iZettle offers very low credit card processing transaction fees, starting at 2.75% and dropping to as little as 1.50% per transaction, based on your monthly sales, and is available for users in United Kingdom, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Spain, Sweden, The Netherlands, Mexico and Brazil. Both iZettle mobile credit card readers are supported: the Lite card reader is free for all business users, while the Pro Contactless card reader, which also accept contactless payments and Apple Pay, costs around $75, depending on your country.
