27 October 2007, Tupperware Partners with LinQpay for Mobile Payments


LinQpay Inc., the world’s leading Global Payment and Mobile Payment Services provider and its wholly owned subsidiary Vwire South Africa, today announced it has been selected by Tupperware South Africa as its exclusive Mobile Payment provider for all of South Africa. By incorporating the patented LinQpay mobile payment platform, Tupperware will now have the ability for all independent distributors, contractors and employees to accept credit and debit card payments through any standard mobile phones at any location or in field.

LinQpay’s, integrated Mobile LinQ services allow Tupperware agents to process credit card or debit card transactions in field or remotely through their standard mobile phones. The service is simple, quick and secure. The sales agent simply accesses Mobile LinQ through a JAVA application downloaded onto her mobile phone. The transaction is captured and sent to LinQpay via secure WAP, WIG or SMS messaging. The transaction is processed within seconds and once completed an SMS payment receipt is sent to the end consumer’s mobile phone for transaction confirmation.

Mobile LinQ reporting system is fully integrated into Tupperware’s distributor management system and ERP system, allowing for instant transfer of order and financial information and full order and payment reconciliation.

James Byler, CEO of LinQpay: ”Mobile LinQ allows all Tupperware sales people to have a point of sale terminal in their pockets at all times. The ability to process a credit card transaction anytime and anyplace with only her standard mobile phone is of immense value. All this without having to buy expensive, cumbersome and hard to maintain hardware. The system is proven to increase sales, cut fraud and lower operational costs.”

Tupperware now joins a growing number of companies who recognize LinQpay as the leader in the Mobile Payment space. Increasingly companiesof all sizes are turning to LinQpay to provide services in reaching customers across differing channels and geography.
