ShopKeep POS Launches New Solution to Help Minimize Customer Wait Time

By Julie Muhn (@julieschicktanz) Posted on January 15, 2013
Categories: ShopKeep POS

Yesterday iPad point of sale system, ShopKeep POS, announced a new solution for small businesses to minimize time customers spend waiting in line.

This system, called the iPad Mini Register, uses the MagTek uDynamo payment dongle (pictured below). The iPad Mini Register grants mobility, which enables store employees to bring the cash register to the customer by walking down the line, ringing up orders, and accepting credit card payments.

After the transaction, the order is printed to the kitchen and customers can pick up their order at the counter. A paperless receipt system emails the receipt to the customer.

The solution is available to merchants for $49 per month.

New York-based startup recently sent us some stats:

More than 3,500 active customers
Processes over $300M in transactions annually
Number of employees doubled in the last six months

To learn more about ShopKeep POS, watch its FinovateFall 2012 demo.

Dwolla Launches Guest Checkout and New POS Integrations

By Julie Muhn (@julieschicktanz) Posted on December 3, 2012
Categories: Dwolla, ShopKeep POS

Iowa-based payment platform Dwolla made some key announcements today on its blog.

1.) Guest checkout
Users no longer need a Dwolla account to check out online with Dwolla. Instead, users authorize a one-time transfer from their bank account (via ACH).

Once customers opt to pay as a guest, they are routed to Dwolla’s external payment gateway where it takes 60 to 90 seconds to complete the process (assuming you have your checking account number handy) as follows:

a.) Enter name, Zip code, email address
b.) Enter phone number where a text or voice-authentication code is transmitted
c.) Enter the authentication code
d.) Enter bank account and routing numbers

To finalize the transaction, the consumer completes the normal checkout process back at the merchant.

2.) The “Dwolla Price”
Merchants can encourage consumers to use Dwolla by sharing the interchange savings. In the example below, a $100 unit is sold at the discounted price of $98.75 after the 3% interchange savings is split 50/50 with the customer and then the Dwolla flat 25 cents is added back in.

3.) POS integrations

Dwolla announced POS integrations that have been in use for almost a month now*:

Change and ShopKeep POS can initiate payments with Dwolla instead of using the Dwolla app or mobile wallet partner.
