How offering multiple payment methods from one card machine can benefit your business
The payment landscape has changed considerably since SnapScan introduced its mobile payment solution to South Africa in 2013.
Consumers now have a wider variety of payment methods to choose from.
A recent study shows that along with traditional payment methods such as cash and card, South African consumers are increasingly using alternative payment methods such as Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Over 90% of those surveyed indicated they would use a digital payment method.
With the payment landscape constantly in flux, it’s become essential for businesses to offer customers a range of payment methods.
The SnapStore Pro card machine lets businesses do just that.
Developed by SnapScan, in partnership with Standard Bank, the all-in-one card machine combines multiple payment methods into one device.
The standalone card machine is WiFi enabled and comes with a SIM card preloaded with data.
Here are five ways this snappy new card machine can improve your business:
1. Close every sale
The best way to ensure you never miss a sale? Make sure you offer customers their preferred payment method.
With the SnapStore Pro, customers can:
- Tap, swipe or insert their Mastercard or Visa bank card,
- Scan your on-screen SnapCode (your unique QR Code) with either their SnapScan or Masterpass apps, or
- Use other mobile payment methods such as Apple Pay, Samsung Pay or Garmin Pay.
- You can also accept and record cash transactions.
2. Improve your customer service
Spend less time switching between payment tools and more time delighting your customers. With the SnapStore Pro, you can focus less on the payment process and more on what matters most: your customers.
The SnapStore Pro can help you throughout your business day:
- In peak time: provide faster service to more customers
- During slow hours: process payments in less time and connect more with your customers.
3. Simplify your reconciliation process
Say goodbye to consolidating your transactions from various payment tools into one document.
The SnapStore Pro displays all your payment types in one place, making recon a breeze.
View your transaction summary to calculate sales, tips and other totals in a snap, or browse your transaction history to get more information about individual payments.
4. Pay one consolidated rate for all your transactions
No more keeping track of your transaction rates for all your payment tools. Simply pay one rate for all your payments.
SnapScan’s rates are dynamic; the more you transact, the less you pay. Since both your card and QR code payments count towards one rate, your business has a better opportunity of enjoying a reduced transaction rate.
Plus, if you sell online, your online transactions will also contribute to decreasing your transaction rate.
5. Centralised support
Need help with your account? SnapScan offers personalised support via call and email. We’ll help you out in a snap, regardless of what you need help with.
