WEB Connect for Pocket PC page 11
Credit Card Sales with Pocket Merchant and a Physical Credit Card
Introduction
In the previous example, you made your first sale by entering the customer’s credit card and billing information.
While the Pocket PC allow you the ability to enter text using handwriting recognition or an on-screen keyboard,
there is still room for making mistakes entering an address, person's name or card number. This, compounded
with working in the field, can be a daunting task. However, WEB Connect was designed to make credit cards
sales quickly and accurately in only a few steps. As a matter of fact, you can do everything by using the corner
of a credit card instead of your stylus! This tutorial shows you how.

WEB Connect allows you to save your password for each Merchant ID. If you are in the field or at a customer’s
