Categories: Billeo

Shopping and billpay platform, Billeo, announced two new services yesterday, ZipThru Pay and ZipThru Buy. With these new features, the California-based company aims to simplify and speed up the online shopping and bill pay experiences.

ZipThru Pay

Enables financial institutions and card issuers to place a pay now button on an online bill payment platform or in a mobile app.

Without leaving the app or website, consumers can pay their bills using their credit, debit, or prepaid card in one click and receive confirmation information.

ZipThru Buy

Enables any website or app that features products from multiple merchants to place a buy

now button next to products being displayed. Websites where ZipThru Buy may be useful include:

Online marketplaces
Comparison shopping engines
Reward malls
Pinterest

Without leaving the shopping site, consumers can purchase the item in only two clicks and receive all confirmation information.

Both services can be integrated into any new or existing website or app using Billeo’s API.

Billeo, a startup that eases shopping and paying bills online, announced its Active eWallet API tool this morning:

“Once a credit, debit, prepaid or gift card issuer uses the API, the issuer’s card appears as an option in Billeo’s iPad and browser apps (ShopSmart, Offer Assistant and Bill Pay Assistant) allowing cardholders using any of Billeo’s free apps to easily add the card into their eWallet and use it while shopping or paying bills online.”

In addition, card issuers are able to use Billeo’s API to enhance their own apps and services to create. The API will allow issuers to connect to the 1.5 million Billeo users who pay online using Billeo’s iPad and browser apps.

*Methodology:

“Companies are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2007 through 2010. To qualify, companies must have been founded by, and be generating revenue by, March 31, 2007. Additionally, they had to be based in the United States, privately held, for profit, and independent–not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies–as of December 31, 2010. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.)

The minimum revenue required for 2007 is $100,000; the minimum for 2010 is $2 million. Revenue figures given in the company profiles are for calendar years, as are employee counts. Full-time and part-time employees are included in the employee counts; independent contractors are not.”
