The latest version of GoPayment provides easier navigation with customers having the ability to sign their bill via the iPhone touch screen. Inventory items can be added to receipts and then emailed or sent to customers via text. There is also a new Intuit Merchant Account application process with users able to apply from the GoPayment App online or by calling from an iPhone.
