Which Mobile Payment Service Is Best for Your Business?

With its recently announced Starbucks partnership, mobile payments start-up Square is aiming to position itself, well, squarely in front of an increasingly long list of competitors. And it may just work: Square can't help but enjoy a higher profile now that it will be processing debit and credit card transactions at 7,000 of the coffee chain's stores.

But the race to determine which tech company will dominate the mobile payment industry is hardly over. Forrester Research predicts mobile payments are still three to five years away from becoming mainstream. In the meantime, here's a rundown of the key mobile payment players vying to get your business, and how their systems stack up. The Pros and Cons of Mobile Payment Services. Apps for accepting customer credit cards on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets are becoming big business.

The Pros and Cons of Mobile Payment Services

Take for instance San Francisco-based mobile payments startup Square, which recently inked a deal with Starbucks to process all of the Seattle coffee giant's credit and debit transactions. And major companies such as PayPal and accounting software provider Intuit have created their own payment apps, too. For small businesses, that means there are more options for simpler credit card processing or an inexpensive point-of-sale system. But from fee structures to device compatibility and support, there are some subtle and not-so-subtle differences between the mobile payment providers that business owners should know about before getting started.

Bling Nation’s technology was specifically designed to reduce payments processing costs for small, local banks and their merchant customers by cutting out middlemen, such as acquirers, processors and brands such as Visa and MasterCard. The company’s technology was designed to be NFC compatible and used contactless stickers and SMS text notifications to get around the then lack of commercially available NFC phones. Bling Nation gained traction quickly with a number of US community banks and consumer adoption also saw swift take up. 62% of customers at the State Bank of La Junta, for instance used their phone to make a purchase in just the first five months.

Square's Starbucks vision: Magical cash-free payments - Aug. 14

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) The entire industry was about to change, he said. Dorsey was in the middle of a major change himself. Recently ousted from Twitter, the company he cofounded, he rebounded by shifting his famously intense focus to a new pain point: the way we pay. Square's pitch -- a simple fee structure and technology that just works -- was a quick hit with small merchants like Third Rail. That was just phase one, it turns out. Square Debuts Monthly Pricing Option For Small Businesses With Zero Swiping Fees. On the heels of announcing a mega-deal with Starbucks, mobile payments processing company Square is announcing another piece of key news—specialized, lower pricing per swipe for small businesses.

Square Debuts Monthly Pricing Option For Small Businesses With Zero Swiping Fees

Basically, Square is going to offer small businesses who make less than $250,000 per year the option of either paying the set 2.75 percent per swipe or one fixed price per month, at $275 per month, with no charge per swipe. So either small businesses can pay the fixed fee, which all merchants pay using Square, or they can pay a monthly fee for any transactions that fall under $250,000 per year. With $250,000 in transactions, paying $275 per month works out to around 1.3 percent per transaction, which is significantly lower than the current rate of 2.75 percent. If a business goes over $250,000 (and had opted into the monthly swipe fee) then the first dollar after will be charged the standard 2.75 percent rate, and so on.

Why would some Tomi T Ahonen be telling you this on his Communities Dominate blog? Not because Forbes calls me the most influential expert in mobile, no. Because someone was going to be there, to see it from the start. Someone saw this massive Trillion-dollar industry at its birth. I was not smart enough to invent this industry, and I was not clever enough to get myself into a career where this was happening. And that happened also, obviously in Finland.

You will start to see that statistic reported by some analysts eager to grab headlines already towards the end of this year, 2012. Unprecedented, yes. C'est pas mon idée !
