Mobile point-of-sale technology is giving small and midsized businesses greater flexibility in how and where they accept customer payments. As EMV chip card adoption expands, merchants need affordable payment processing solutions that support secure transactions without requiring traditional countertop terminals or expensive hardware installations.
CardFlight’s partnership with Beyond addresses this demand by bringing the SwipeSimple mobile point-of-sale solution to Beyond’s merchant customers. The integration allows businesses to accept EMV chip card payments using smartphones and tablets while accessing inventory management, transaction reporting, and other tools designed to simplify daily operations. The collaboration highlights the growing importance of mobile POS solutions in helping smaller merchants compete in an increasingly digital payments environment.
CardFlight, a mobile point-of-sale (POS) technology provider and Beyond, a financial technology company that provides business tools and services, including payment processing, employee management, POS, and lending, to small and midsized businesses, announced that Beyond will offer CardFlight’s SwipeSimple mobile point-of-sale. This partnership extends Beyond’s payment processing suite and allows small business owners to accept EMV chip card payments from their mobile devices.
SwipeSimple Brings Secure EMV Payments to Mobile Devices
SwipeSimple is a secure EMV-enabled mobile payment acceptance suite that includes an EMV chip card reader, mobile application for iOS and Android, and a back-office web dashboard for merchants to accept payments and manage their businesses.

CardFlight and Beyond Expand Merchant Payment Capabilities
“At Beyond, we are committed to offering tools that meet the needs of business owners. SwipeSimple enables our clients to accept payments securely from their own devices with EMV enabled readers,” said Robert O. Carr, Founder and CEO at Beyond. “Mobile payments with SwipeSimple bring a new addition to our suite of services allowing opportunity for businesses to grow.”
“We’re delighted to partner with Beyond and provide greater value to their clients by streamlining mobile payments processes,” said Derek Webster, Founder & CEO at CardFlight. “Beyond is a leading and fast-growing payments provider and this partnership validates our commitment to serving the growing needs of small to midsized enterprises.”
The partnership between CardFlight and Beyond reflects a broader shift toward mobile payment acceptance solutions that combine transaction processing with practical business management tools. For small and midsized merchants, the ability to accept chip card payments through a smartphone or tablet provides an alternative to traditional POS systems while supporting the transition to EMV technology.
Security remains an important consideration as businesses adopt mobile point-of-sale technology. SwipeSimple incorporates point-to-point encryption and a PCI Level 1-compliant payment gateway, helping merchants protect payment information while offering customers familiar chip card transaction capabilities. These protections are particularly valuable for smaller businesses that may lack dedicated technology or security resources.
Beyond payment acceptance, SwipeSimple’s inventory tracking, customizable tax and tipping options, and reporting dashboard give merchants additional ways to manage daily operations. Its offline payment functionality also provides flexibility for businesses operating in locations where cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity may be unreliable, although transactions collected offline still require subsequent processing.
By incorporating SwipeSimple into its payment processing portfolio, Beyond can offer merchants a more comprehensive set of tools for accepting payments and managing their businesses. The CardFlight and Beyond partnership demonstrates how mobile POS technology is evolving beyond basic card acceptance to become an increasingly useful component of small business operations.
