The Problem

Card readers break down. Volunteers forget to charge them. Lines get long.

Traditional card readers at school events are a headache: dead batteries, pairing issues, and hardware nobody knows how to troubleshoot. CoreMobile eliminates all of it.

The Old Way

✗ Card reader runs out of battery mid-event
✗ Volunteers don't know how to pair the device
✗ Only one reader for the whole event
✗ Hardware is expensive to replace or loses
✗ Long lines, frustrated parents

With CoreMobile

✓ Every volunteer's phone is a payment terminal
✓ Works on any modern iPhone or Android
✓ No pairing, no dongles, no setup
✓ Zero hardware cost
✓ Fast checkout, short lines, happy parents

Common Questions

Everything schools ask about CoreMobile

How can a school accept tap-to-pay at concession stands?

Schools can use CoreMobile to turn any iPhone or Android phone into a tap-to-pay terminal. Volunteers simply download the app, sign in, and hold the phone near a customer's card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or wearable to accept payment. No card readers or hardware needed.

Do volunteers need training to use CoreMobile?

No. CoreMobile is designed to be picked up and used immediately once your account is approved. The payment screen shows exactly what to do. Hold the phone near the payment method. Volunteers can start accepting payments right away after signing in.

Can booster clubs and PTAs use CoreMobile?

Yes. CoreMobile works for any school-affiliated organization including PTAs, booster clubs, athletic departments, and fundraising committees. Any group that needs to collect payments at events can use it under one account.

What payment types does CoreMobile accept at school events?

CoreMobile accepts tap-to-pay credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and any NFC-enabled wearable device such as Apple Watch or Fitbit.

Is CoreMobile secure for school use?

Yes. CoreMobile is built on industry-standard PCI-compliant payment infrastructure. No card data is stored on the device. All transactions are encrypted end-to-end, meeting the same security standards used by businesses processing millions of dollars annually.

Can we use CoreMobile for ticket sales, spirit wear, and fundraisers too?

Does CoreMobile require internet at school events?

CoreMobile requires a mobile data or Wi-Fi connection to process payments in real time. We recommend using phones with cellular data enabled as a backup to venue Wi-Fi to ensure uninterrupted service throughout your event.
