The app, which was officially launched today, 10 July 2014, is now available on both iOS and Android devices.
FlickPay has developed a robust system that is more than just a simple payment app, but a technology that is fully integrated to a merchants' point of sale which opens up a world of opportunity.
Differing from all other payment apps on the market, this integration means that both merchants and users benefit from a closed loop payment system. This encompasses loyalty rewards, geo-located coupon serving and relevant deal distribution, with intelligent split bill payments with more on the development horizon, all of which is exciting SA's retailers and brands.
Once a user has downloaded FlickPay through Google Play or the App Store, registered users must enter their credit/cheque card details.
A transaction is completed in three easy steps:
Users aren't charged any differently to a normal credit card transaction, and can still earn their usual eBucks and other bank rewards.
FlickPay is powered by wiGroup, a platform provider specialising in point-of-sale integrated mobile transacting, responsible for the mobile payment solutions and platforms for MTN, Shoprite Checkers, Pick n Pay, Engen, KFC, Vodacom and many more.
Having enabled more than R2 billion worth of in-store transactions through the wiPlatform, FlickPay couldn't be in a better space to fast track a cashless South African society.
