Intuit GoPayment Unveils New Features to Help Small Businesses08:30 EST Thursday, December 06, 2012
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (Business Wire) -- Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU) today
unveiled a fresh look and feel to its GoPayment
mobile payment app, equipped with new features to address the needs of
small businesses. The enhanced GoPayment comes with new tools and
features that small businesses can use on their smartphones or tablets –
helping them to compete with bigger companies, increase sales and grow
their business. During the holiday shopping season, many small
businesses face the additional pressure of managing an increase in
volume, and Intuit solutions can help them meet the demand and create
better experiences for their customers. Intuit takes payments beyond justa simple card reader and mobile app – GoPayment syncs data with
best-selling QuickBooks financial software, and integrates with
QuickBooks Point of Sale to provide one of the only robust mobile
point-of-sale solutions specifically designed to help the nation's 2.8
million small retailers manage and grow their businesses.
The new GoPayment helps small businesses:
Personalize transactions: Customize the GoPayment app to meet
their specific needs and tastes. Receipts can include the store's
name, logo and contact information to promote their business and
encourage referrals.
Track cash payments, apply discounts: Record cash transactions
and apply discounts, such as Friends and Family offers, to orders.
Gain business insight: Manageone items list that syncs
across devices and users, organize items by category or favorites
across multiple devices and users, and see all transaction details in
one place.
Better manage employees: Control employee access to information
and set permissions by differentiating between administrator and
associate roles. This is increasingly important during the holidays,
when small businesses hire seasonal employees, creating a greater need
to monitor sales and be more secure.
Introduced in May 2009, GoPayment began as a way for small businesses on
the go to accept payments using their mobile device. Since then, it has
evolved to meet the changing needs of the market and consumers. The new
GoPayment is now available on the App
Store or at www.itunes.com/appstore.
The app works on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, including iOS 6 and iPhone
5.
“We are constantly improving GoPayment to ensure we meet the unique
needs of all types of small businesses,” said Chris Hylen, vice
president and general manager of Intuit Payment Solutions. “We based our
enhancements to GoPayment on customer insights and feedback. We've
developed a new look and features to deliver a more seamless, efficient
experience while continuing to provide the same value and benefits
countless small business owners have come to trust.”
