Subway is introducing new payment options through its websites and mobile application

Famed restaurant chain Subway is taking another step into the mobile commerce field by offering a new payment option through its mobile application. The new option will support PayPal transactions and is meant to make ordering and paying for food more convenient for customers. Subway intends to see more people use its mobile app and believes that integration with PayPal will help with the application’s appeal to consumers that are beginning to rely more heavily on their mobile devices.

Company seeks to become more flexible in order to meet the needs of its customers

Ken Moy, Subway’s director of global payments and emerging commerce, notes that the company has recognized the advent of mobile devices and the role they are beginning to play in the evolving field of commerce. Subway wants to establish a greater presence among mobile consumers, who are looking for more convenient way to purchase products that they are interested in. In order to accommodate the needs of consumers, Subway is looking for new ways to become flexible and engage consumers.

PayPal integration will be completed by the end of this year

By the end of this year, PayPal will be fully integrated into the Subway mobile application. Mobile payments made through the app will be supported at more than 27,000 Subway locations throughout the United States. The company’s mobile application is being powered by technology developed by Paydiant, a mobile wallet developer that was recently acquired by PayPal. Subway restaurants will support mobile payments made in person and payments will also be supported online through the company’s website.

A growing number of companies are beginning to take mobile payments more seriously

Mobile payments are beginning to play a major role in the business world. More companies are working to find ways to support these payments in order to satisfy the demand coming from consumers that have become interested in mobile commerce. Subway is one among several companies that have begun to play a larger role in the mobile commerce space.

Commuters who are using the two train lines in India will be able to use cell phones to buy tickets.

A new mobile ticketing system will soon be launched to make it possible for commuters in Haryana, India, who travel between Palwal and New Delhi to be able to purchase their unreserved tickets by way of cell phones.

All that is required is a smartphone and the appropriate mobile app and the user can buy tickets on the device.

This mobile ticketing program will be implemented as of August and is a component of a broader strategy to convert unreserved tickets into a paperless system. It is also meant to help to reduce the need to stand in line and purchase those tickets. This system will be available to users of Android or Windows based smartphones. All they need to do is download the free Unreserved Ticketing System (UTS) app.

With the app, the mobile ticketing features become available to the device user who can display their ticket to officials.

The railway ticket can be purchased through the use of a credit or debit card that is entered into the application. With the UTS app, commuters who are asked to show their tickets by railway officials can simply display the information on their mobile device screen.

This app makes it possible to buy a paperless ticket for a destination anywhere along the Delhi-Palwal section of railway, which spans 32 miles. Along this stretch, there are 15 different stations, including Nizamuddin, Tughalakabad, Faridabad and Ballabgarh. All of those stations will be covered by the paperless mobile tickets service.

The system was created by the Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS) “utsonmobile”. The mobile app can be downloaded from either the Google Play store or the Windows Store, as appropriate. Once it has been installed, it walks the user through all of the required steps for making the ticket purchase, on-screen.

That said, despite the fact that the hope is that the majority of commuters will use the mobile ticketing system, the traditional ticket windows will still be available to travelers who wish to buy paper tickets.
