Card transactions on iOS and Android devices
The Dan Beard Council of the Boy Scouts of America has selected SAIL by VeriFone in an effort to improve troop fundraising efforts during the annual Popcorn Sale. The organisation plans to distribute SAIL card readers to individual troop leaders who sign up for the programme. Troop leaders will then be able to sign up for merchant accounts and assign multiple users to the account enabling parents of scouts to run card transactions on iOS and Android devices. In addition, they will be able to handle voided sales and refunds, without access to account administrator functions.
Users will be able to select pre-set prices and pictures for quick and easy sales, and troop leaders will be able to customize their own items for their individual merchant accounts. The council will also be able to use its reseller portal to monitor sign-ups and keep track of transactions across accounts.
