Flint Mobile announced the addition of invoicing, coupons, Apple Passbook support and other key enhancements to its no-card-reader mobile payment app, significantly expanding payment management and loyalty capabilities for motorcycle dealers. Flint is the first mobile payment solution provider that integrates with the Apple Passbook virtual wallet, opening a lucrative new repeat business-generating channel, that many motorcycle dealers may not have had access to in the past. Flint allows merchants to set this up without requiring iPhone users to download a separate mobile commerce app to house their digital discount offers and coupons.
Flint’s application uses the phone’s camera to securely scan credit card numbers instead of swiping them through an external card reader. The app is free with fees of only 1.95% per debit card transaction and 2.95% per credit card transaction. These benefits, instant setup and other features have fueled a more than tenfold jump in Flint transaction volumes since early 2013.
Invoicing is also now available for Flint’s Android users through the merchant portal. The other new features will be added to Flint’s Android app in the near future.
