Paradies Now Enables “Tap & Go” With PayPass
MasterCard announced that The Paradies Shops expects to accept PayPass contactless payment transactions at its more than 500 retail store locations throughout US and Canada by late 2008. By accepting PayPass, Paradies will offer the more than half-billion travellers it serves each year, quicker transactions and greater payment convenience to enhance the overall travel shopping experience.
“For our customers who are travelling and constantly on the go, PayPass provides an even faster way to pay at retail locations where convenience and efficiency are paramount,” said Lou Bottino, SVP & COO, The Paradies Shops. “Expanding our payment options to include PayPass is an extension of our commitment to provide our customers with the most valuable and convenient airport shopping and travel experience.”
With PayPass technology, Paradies customers can simply tap their PayPass-enabled MasterCard card or device on a PayPass reader at check-out, eliminating the need to hand their card over to a cashier or fumble for cash. PayPass also does not require customers to sign receipts for purchases under US$25, further speeding up the transaction.
“Airport retail locations are a natural fit for PayPass, which is designed to provide speed and convenience at the POS and help customers to be on their way,” said Gerritt Kerkstra, SVP, US Acquirer Relations, MasterCard. “We are very excited that Paradies has joined the growing list of merchants that accept PayPass as we continue to look for ways to enhance the shopping experience for consumers.”
Paradies will accept PayPass in addition to traditional magstripe payment cards at all of the checkout counters of the specialised, one-of-a-kind stores and nationally-recognised retail brands it operates in over 60 airports and hotels in North America. The Paradies family of brands includes a wide variety of retailers from newsstands to specialty gift shops, such as Brooks Brothers, PGA TOUR Shops, CNBC, Harley-Davidson and The New York Times bookstores.
