QuickPay 2 is now in limited release in Florida
What is cool about Amazon? 1-Click purchases. What is not cool about Amazon? Their prices are often higher than other retailers (in ShopSavvy they are only the best price 6% of the time). What if you could scan a product with ShopSavvy and find the best prices from online and local retailers (Amazon included) and buy the product with 1-Tap inside of the app? That is what we call quick pay and it is now live for iOS users in Florida.
With the second version of quick pay you can skip the website and buy from any retailer from inside of ShopSavvy. Want to give it a try? Remember this is a VERY limited version of the feature. Here are the details/limits:
- Limited Retailers: Barnes & Noble and Buy.com
- Limited Users: Florida and iOS Only
- Early Version: Super-Beta (the official release version fixes a number of issues)
The process is fairly simple. The first time you use quick pay you can add your credit card info as well as shipping information and from then on you can buy with 1-Tap. By removing all of the inertia we hope that quick pay will make saving money even easier. I have been buying books and office supplies with quick pay for the last few weeks and it works great.
If you live in Florida and what to try it out, just start scanning books and/or consumer electronics and you should see an option to buy with quick pay. Let us know what you think. Everybody else? We should have everything ready to launch nationwide on the 29th (Apple might take a few days to accept the app, but Android will be available immediately).
