SCKT Stock Is Flying On Google Wallet Certification
In a press release issued this morning, Socket Mobile announced that its SocketScan S550 Contactless Membership Card Reader/Writer has passed the Google Wallet Certification process.
The company reminded investors that it is a member of Google’s Smart Tap partner program. This program lists certified providers of Smart Tap capable terminals. With the Google Pay Smart Tap technology, mobile passes, payment cards, and transit cards are stored in the Google Pay wallet.
When a merchant uses this technology, a merchant application using SDK from SCKT, the S550 automatically selects the merchant’s mobile pass from the consumer’s Google Wallet. The consumer then activates the pass by tapping their phone on the terminal.
Essentially, the certification means that SCKT merchant customers will be able to accept Smart Tap payments from consumers using the Google Wallet product.
In a statement, Vince Coli, Staff Director of Technical Product Marketing at SCKT, had the following to offer:
The S550 delivers an engaging, contactless, and frictionless experience for your customers and guests using mobile passes. The Capture SDK provides our developers with the tools to use the magic of the Google Wallet eco-system. We’re excited to be at the forefront of these new mobile pass capabilities and their ability to improve customer experiences.
