Girl Scouts can now accept credit card payment via iPhone

Uh oh, bad news to report.  You  can no longer use the excuse that you don’t have any cash to get out of buying a truckload of Girl Scout cookies.  Now, Girl Scouts of NorthEast Ohio (my home turf :()  will be collecting payments via Intuit’s GoPayment platform on iOS and Android.

To celebrate the Girl Scouts upcoming 99th anniversary in March, Intuit Inc. has equipped the Girl Scouts of North East Ohio with its GoPayment mobile payment app, including a free Intuit credit card reader, and reduced pricing on transaction fees. GoPayment provides them with an easy and affordable way to process credit card payments on their mobile devices while protecting sensitive credit card information with industry-leading data encryption.

“We’re glad to put the latest mobile technology in the hands of America’s future business leaders to help them increase cookie sales,” said Chris Hylen, vice president and general manager of Intuit’s Payment Solutions division. “For this generation of girls in particular, running a business and being able to take payments anywhere with mobile apps like GoPayment will become second nature. We’re eager to see how sales will increase now that they take credit cards with GoPayment.”
