SAN FRANCISCO (Business Wire) -- Moovweb,
the world's first Agile Web mobile platform, today announced that 1-800-FLOWERS.COM
is now offering Google
Wallet as a payment option for its mobile website, using the Moovweb
Agile Web platform. With the latest 1-800-FLOWERS.COM website update,
Moovweb has enabled customers to securely and easily check-out using
their Google Wallet account on their mobile device. Google Wallet was
designed to improve the mobile shopping experience by allowing customers
to shop on their smartphones and tablets without the need to enter
credit card information. Google Wallet can be authorized as a default
payment method, and with it, customers can log into merchant websites
via their Google account.
“Moovweb made the integration of Google Wallet into our mobile platform
fast and simple,” said Chris McCann, President, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM.
“Google Wallet users receive all of the conveniences of the
1-800-FLOWERS.COM desktop site and can now more easily make purchases on
the desktop and mobile platform with the service. “
Moovweb is a Google Wallet Premium Platform Partner, allowing the
company to quickly and easily integrate Google Wallet as a payment
option on its customers' mobile websites. As a partner, the company is
authorized to deliver Google Wallet functionality for leading national
retailers and brands on their mobile sites and tablet apps.
Moovweb is a cloud-based platform that transforms desktop sites into
compelling mobile experiences in real-time, enabling a powerful “One
Web” strategy for businesses that need to leverage existing Web assets
but deliver compelling mobile experiences at the same time. Moovweb is
built on the Moovweb Cloud, a next-generation, high performance,
cloud-based infrastructure optimized to deliver Web experiences for
mobile environments. The free Moovweb SDK empowers front-end developers
with a mobile development framework for rapid design and deployment of
feature rich mobile optimized websites.
“We bring the latest mobile enhancements, like Google Wallet, into
mobile sites within days or hours instead of weeks or months,” said
Mitch Bishop, CMO for Moovweb. “Moovweb enables companies in all
industries to leverage one single Web stack that gets transformed into
powerful mobile experiences in real time. This cuts IT cost and enhances
business agility.”
