Payment by Mobile Phone
(In Scandinavian Countries)

The Norwegian company Cardia.no provides support for payment by mobile phone, a method of payment widespread and popular in Scandinavian countries. In order to pay by using their cell phones, customers state their mobile phone number as well as the requested amount. A little later, they will receive a confirming SMS message. This message will then have to be answered within three minutes in order for the customers to have the requested amount credited to their SiteKiosk account. After the confirmation message has been received, the amount will be credited instantly, and the customer will receive an SMS receipt/confirmation on top of that.

Maximum amount
Here you can set the maximum amount that will be deducted from the customers' account when they use mobile payment. What this means is that a customer will not be able to set a higher amount than the one you specify here.

Customers can use the PLUS and MINUS buttons to set the amount to be debited. Here you can define by how much the amount is to be increased or decreased when a customer presses the PLUS or MINUS button.

There is also an option for you to set up a one-time amount (fee) for mobile payment. This fee will not be credited to the surftime account and is used to transfer the additional costs arising from the mobile payment service to the customer.
