NEW YORK (AP) — Groupon is launching a new service that allows businesses to run credit cards using an iPhone or iPod Touch, the latest company to seek a portion of that growing market.

Groupon Payments is aimed mainly at businesses that offer deals through the Groupon. A test program, however, allows other merchants to use the service at higher rates.
