GrabScanGo, in Collaboration with MagTek, Launches App Clip to Simplify Purchases at Hotel Lobby Markets
Ceritos, California, November 12, 2024 - GrabScanGo, a provider of a Managed Lobby Market program to hotels across the U.S., announced the launch of an innovative App Clip in collaboration with MagTek, a global leader in payment technology and security solutions. The groundbreaking App Clip revolutionizes the guest experience at hotel lobby markets by streamlining the purchase process to mere seconds.
An App Clip, as described by Apple, is a lightweight version of an iOS app that is discoverable at the point-of-need, providing a fast and frictionless way for users to engage with a specific task. The patent-pending App Clip developed by GrabScanGo allows guests to effortlessly purchase snacks, drinks, and travel essentials at hotel lobby markets using only their iPhone and Apple Pay. Unlike traditional app-based methods, this revolutionary solution requires no app installation or account creation, ensuring a seamless and hassle-free experience for guests.
Guests initiate their shopping journey by scanning the App Clip Code prominently displayed at the market. Instantly, the App Clip appears on their iPhone, providing a seamless interface for scanning and purchasing. With a simple scan of the UPC barcodes on the products' packages, guests build their shopping carts. When ready, they check out and securely pay using Apple Pay, all on their iPhone.
Payments made through Apple Pay are processed with the utmost security using MagTek's Magensa Payment Protection Gateway, guaranteeing peace of mind for both guests and hotel operators. Magensa Payment Protection Gateway and Tokenization Services harmonize card-present and card-not-present solutions however you need to accept payments. Magensa is a PCI-DSS certified environment for securely processing payment transactions.
By eliminating friction from the purchase process, GrabScanGo and MagTek empower hotel guests to shop with unprecedented ease, speed, and security, enhancing their overall experience.
"We are excited to partner with MagTek to introduce this groundbreaking App Clip," said Wilfred Martis, CEO and co-founder of GrabScanGo. "Our collaboration represents a significant milestone in our mission to redefine the retail experience, offering unparalleled convenience and efficiency to hotel guests. With GrabScanGo and MagTek, purchasing at hotel lobby markets has never been easier."
"Magensa gateway services enable our customers to securely accept both card-present and card-not-present transactions in one comprehensive solution," said Andy Deignan, president and CEO of MagTek. "Integrating GrabScanGo's revolutionary App Clip with Magensa demonstrates how payment transactions can be simple, fast, and secure - three key elements needed to build customer loyalty."
