This post is part of our live coverage of FinovateSpring 2014.

Our next presenter is the team from Digital Retail Apps demoing SelfPay.

SelfPay helps merchants engage each shopper in-aisle, item in hand and on their mobile device. As a shopper nears a store, they’re located via iBeacon and location services – no need to check in or search for an app. SelfPay welcomes the shopper and displays the store’s brands, items, descriptions and pricing. Shoppers can purchase items in-app to take home right away – no more waiting in line just to pay. 
SelfPay extends the POS to the shopper’s mobile device and purchases are settled with the existing merchant account, posting immediately to the POS. As a wallet aggregator, SelfPay offers a wide choice of payment methods from credit cards to e-wallets. Also included is a patent-pending wireless purchase verification method, SP Verify.
