DULUTH, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 16, 2014--
The NCR
SilverTM mobile point-of-sale (POS) system for small
businesses is now offering remote payment and order ahead capabilities
that are compatible and operable with Apple PayTM, a new
service that will transform mobile payments with an easy, secure and
private way to pay.
These capabilities will be offered for free to merchants until January
1, 2015. Users of the NCR Silver system will also have the option to
integrate customer loyalty so it works seamlessly with order and pay
ahead features.
For consumers to order and pay ahead, they will need an iPhoneTM
6 or iPhone 6 Plus. The app powering this, Silver SidewalkTM,
will be coming to the App StoreSM soon.
Two of the biggest benefits of ordering and paying ahead with Apple Pay
are faster service and shorter lines. This new capability enables small
businesses to offer consumers another convenient payment option that
makes paying with your credit or debit cards as simple as the touch of a
finger with Touch ID.
“Supporting Apple Pay to deliver order ahead functionality is another
way that NCR, with the Silver system, continues to be a true partner to
small businesses,” said Justin Hotard, president, NCR Small Business.
“In this case, we are enabling small businesses to use technology in
ways that change the way they interact and connect with customers. In
the coming months, more consumers will want to pay with an iPhone, and
we are helping our merchants support this demand.”
