Valet parking has always been about convenience and luxury, and in the modern era, that means integrating cutting-edge technology to make the process even smoother. Enter Summon Inc.’s latest innovation: the ‘Tap to Pay’ feature. Set to revolutionize the valet payment process, this feature is geared towards providing both valet operators and customers with an effortless and speedy payment method.
What is ‘Tap to Pay’?
‘Tap to Pay’ allows valet operators to transform their mobile devices into a mobile Point of Sale (POS) system. Gone are the days when transactions required card swiping, signing, or entering PIN numbers. With ‘Tap to Pay’, the payment process is as simple as tapping a card or phone on the valet operator’s device.
How Does It Work?
- For Credit Card Users: Customers can now use their credit cards embedded with Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. They’ll simply tap their card on the operator’s mobile device to process the payment.
- For Mobile Wallet Users: Those who have mobile wallets set up on their iOS or Android devices can bring their phones close to the operator’s device. The NFC technology in both devices will communicate, facilitating the payment without the need for any physical contact or app launch.
Benefits of ‘Tap to Pay’ for Valet Operations
- Speedy Transactions: ‘Tap to Pay’ considerably reduces the time taken for payment processing, ensuring faster vehicle retrievals and happier customers.
- Enhanced Safety: With the pandemic emphasizing contactless interactions, ‘Tap to Pay’ ensures minimal contact between customers and valet operators, bolstering safety measures.
- User-Friendly Interface: The Summon app’s intuitive design ensures that even the least tech-savvy operators can easily navigate and use this feature.
- Seamless Integration: This feature is built upon Summon’s robust API, ensuring reliability and smooth integration with other functionalities.
Boost in Customer Experience
- Multiple Payment Options: With both credit card and mobile wallet compatibility, customers have flexible payment options.
- No More Waiting: Quicker transactions mean customers spend less time waiting to settle their payments.
- Modern Tech Convenience: The luxury of valet parking is enhanced by the modern convenience of tap technology, amplifying the overall experience.
In Conclusion
Summon Inc. continues its commitment to enhancing the valet experience for both operators and customers. The ‘Tap to Pay’ feature is not just a testament to this commitment but also a glimpse into the future of valet parking – where technology and convenience go hand in hand.
