The ZipZap mPOS app accepts credit and debit card payments via Bluetooth or USB and connects to a separate PIN pad.

The safe and secure solution allows merchants to take instant card payments from clients instead of cash or EFTs.

The ZipZap app is available to download for free on all mobile platforms, while its mPOS solution is only compatible with Windows Phone.

Under the partnership, Paycorp will offer two 18-month rent-to-own contracts for the ZiZap.
