As the technological climate changes, us small Jewelers have to think about how we can keep up with the times. One of the best ways to ensure being able to sell our products is being able to take the type of payments that our customers are using.

Out with the old, in with the new.

If the only two types of payment that we accept are credit cards and cash, we are getting behind the times.

Have you considered Apple Pay and Android Pay? The NFC technology is not taking off as fast as they expected, but people are certainly warming up to it. Just take a trip to Starbucks, and you will often see half of the line pay by tapping their phone on the terminal.

While you may not have to jump on the bandwagon right away, but it's just a matter of time before people will be asking you if they can pay with their phones.

Have you thought of switching to an NFC terminal yet? If you have already done it, we would be interested in hearing the pluses and minuses.
