Samy Adds Mobile In-App Pay Option For Retailers
Sarasota, FL (PRWEB) February 18, 2014 -- MobileBits Corp., (OTCQB: MBIT), provider of Samy™, a leading mobile marketing and loyalty network, today announced its intention to offer in-app mobile commerce for its for bricks and mortar retailers. In addition to driving in-store product redemptions, Samy will now offer retailers the option of enabling in-app mobile payment; making it easier for consumers to make purchases whenever and wherever they decide.
The Samy network is already a leading supplier of mobile offer/coupon redemptions and brand loyalty; driving almost 30 million transactions to date and closing in on its first billion in total aggregate sales value for its merchant advertisers.
“We are closely monitoring the evolution of mobile pay. We see a number of companies vying for retailer acceptance - those steaming outward from commerce by adding POS value like Square and Shopify to social and mobile engagement networks like Facebook, Twitter, Yelp and Samy aiming at selling ads for performance," said Walter Kostiuk, President & CEO of MobileBits. “Samy is different because it provides a mobile store for every retailer to help market and publish offers, coupons and products to local consumers who choose to follow the retailer before they get access to savings on their mobile devices.”
To help retailers, MobileBits plans to offer optional in-app mobile pay functionality with Stripe. This adds to its already low risk, high value in-store coupon/offer redemption platform where retailers can create and manage their own mobile store through the Samy Administration panel.
Samy seeks to provide retailers a choice when it comes to mobile commerce with additional mobile pay partners planned to be announced in the future. Additionally, retailers can already choose to deploy or integrate gift cards and/or loyalty cards through Samy add-ons with technology alliances such as Givex Corporation, announced last year.
Samy powers thousands of bricks and mortar retailers and brands helping them connect with local consumers and drive engagement across many different types of industries including quick-service restaurants (QSR), full service restaurants (FSR) and wide variety retail businesses.
