Between the two, they also may be a complete system for your sales and purchases. TotilPay Go Integrates with: Square Allows you to take: Credit cards Debit cards Loyalty cards SNAP WIC Though this program comes with a physical card reader, it is the one that will accept SNAP EBT transactions (the digital form of food stamps).

  • Chinese Online Payment Platforms for Their Individual Needs
    SNAPSHOT GUIDE TO ONLINE PAYMENT PLATFORMS FOR CHINESE VISITORS JULY 2017 OVERVIEW The use of online payment platforms has reshaped the way people pay for goods and services in China. Over the past five years, financial transactions are increasingly being handled through the use of advanced technology in a smartphone device, creating a fast and easy way for customers to pay for goods and services. While there are over 700 million registered users of online payment platforms in China – who complete approximately 380 million transactions a day – use of these platforms in Australia is relatively limited. In the year ending March 2017, 1.2 million Chinese visited Australia (up 12% from the previous year). Chinese visitors to Australia are the highest spending ($9.2 billion in 2016, or around $8,000 per visitor). Integrating online payment platforms recognised by Chinese visitors into business operations provides Australian businesses significant revenue yield opportunities and options better aligned to customer expectations. ONLINE PAYMENT PLATFORMS Also known as a digital wallet or e-wallet, these platforms are linked to a bank account, where transactions are processed without the use of a bank card i.e. similar to the way PayPal works. Online payment platforms can be used for purchases online or in-person. How an online payment platform works: Using a payment platform app, the customer generates a one- time QR code on their smartphone. The merchant uses a small device to scan the QR code given by the customer to process payment for the purchase of goods or services. In Australia, funds are in the merchant’s account within two business days after the date of transaction.

  • Mobile Payments
    Mobile Payments - A study of the emerging payments ecosystem and its inhabitants while building a business case. By: Cherian Abraham Principal Analyst – Mobile Commerce & Payments Practice / Co-Founder - DROP Labs Twitter @ http://twitter.com/cherian abraham LinkedIn @ http://www.linkedin.com/in/cherianabraham For more information on this study and associated research, contact me at EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The advent of the ubiquitous smart phone has along with it brought dramatic shifts in customer behavior and payment modalities. Banks are finding themselves in an unenviable position of choosing to wait until a secure and safe standard emerges for "Digital", or take the plunge in to these murky payment waters. There is a battle waging for the customer mind-share and emerging revenue streams, between traditional and non-traditional players - who are ever more emboldened by advances in technology and disappearing barriers to entry. The objective of this study is to build a business case for banks evaluating the opportunities and challenges present in building out mobile payment solutions, including direct and indirect revenue generation. This study paints a roadmap of current mobile payment initiatives undertaken by Financial institutions, MNO's and technology upstarts, and to highlight the risks of building payment solutions which are not centered on the payment context. This study summarizes the challenges ahead for mobile payments, including a lack of interoperability, consumer apathy and a general lack of understanding of its merits. It is targeted at financial institutions that may be making first steps, by building out their own mobile wallet initiatives or partnering with others, and seeks clarity.
