ShopKeep, one of the fastest growing point of sale iOS platforms for small businesses, has announced its partnership with LevelUp, a leading customer loyalty and mobile commerce company. Together, the two parties will launch a new solution for retailers to process mobile payments and build loyalty among consumers. The new solution will cater to the demands coming from consumers concerning more robust options in the field of mobile commerce. ShopKeep expects that small businesses will find a great deal of success through a unified mobile commerce and loyalty point of sale platform.

ShopKeep aims to engage mobile consumers more effectively

ShopKeep has etched out a name for itself in the retail industry, as well as others, through the development of a point of sale system that makes use of Apple’s iPad. Businesses can use this system to serve customers in a variety of ways, using the iPad as a form of high-tech cash register. Teaming with LevelUp brings mobile commerce capabilities to ShopKeep’s already popular system, allowing businesses to accommodate a growing number of consumers that are showing interest in making purchases with their mobile devices.

Mobile commerce continues to grow in popularity

The advent of mobile technology has enabled consumers to experience the world in a different way. Mobile commerce is quickly becoming a major part of the mobile world, especially as more people acquire smart phones and tablet devices. Consumers are finding it easier to purchase products using their mobile devices rather than using traditional forms of currency. The retailer industry has taken notice of this trend and has been working to embrace mobile commerce more aggressively.

Simple mobile payments may be favorable for consumers

LevelUp believes that ShopKeep’s use of its mobile payment processing technology will make mobile commerce more alluring to both businesses and consumers. The technology will make it easier for companies using the ShopKeep system to accept mobile transactions while also providing consumers with a straightforward approach to the issue of mobile payments and giving them access to a variety of loyalty rewards.

Mobile Commerce - PayLeap and Spindle PartnershipPayLeap and Spindle team to boost mobile commerce services

PayLeap, a company specializing in payment processing solutions, has announced its partnership with Spindle, a leading mobile commerce provider. The two companies have signed a strategic agreement that is designed to combine their solutions and technologies for the benefit of the global mobile commerce market. Such partnerships are becoming more popular throughout the mobile commerce sector as smaller companies find it nearly impossible to meet global demand for the services they provide on their own.

Companies to combine technologies and services

The PayLeap platform operates as a payment gateway, collection financial information from consumers and offering payment processing services to businesses. The platform supports in-store payments as well as those made through e-commerce sites. PayLeap also boasts of several security features, such as fraud management and secure checkout, in order to provide more safety for mobile commerce initiatives. Spindle offers businesses a variety of mobile commerce services, couponing, and loyalty programs.

Consumers demand better mobile commerce services

Through this new partnership, Spindle and PayLeap will combine their services and technology to provide consumers and businesses with more robust solutions in their given markets. These solutions may be well-received in industries that have been struggling to adopt mobile commerce per the demands coming from consumers. Those with mobile devices have been itching to participate in mobile commerce in markets in Europe and Asia, but there are still relatively few services that cater to these consumers, creating a promising opportunity for Spindle and PayLeap.

Partnerships could help small businesses compete against large companies

While the partnership will give both companies the ability to reach a wider audience, it will also help them compete against larger companies that have established strong presences in mobile commerce. Google is one such company and its Google Wallet platform has become a popular mobile commerce solution for consumers. Smaller companies may find it difficult to compete with a corporation the size of Google, hence the increasing frequency of partnerships being formed between such companies.
