ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sionic Mobile today announced the launch of its newest online center designed specifically for resellers of payment services and independent sales organizations (ISOs). The ION Loyalty Reseller Center provides tools resellers need to grow their businesses by combining mobile payments, marketing and customer rewards for their small-medium size businesses. Merchants pay a flat rate of one percent for payment processing, regardless of credit card brand or type, and gain added benefit from unlimited mobile ads, self-branded e-gift cards and one percent automated customer rewards.
Georgia-based Chalin, Inc. is among the first payment service providers to leverage the new platform. According to the company’s CEO, Chris Bissell, Sionic Mobile’s Reseller Center will be a game changer for small businesses and the payments market.
“Sionic Mobile’s Reseller Center provides resellers a viable strategy to gain the competitive edge in the mobile movement,” said Bissell. “My team now has the ability to onboard new merchants in a matter of minutes. It doesn’t require any upfront investment or expensive new hardware, which allows any business owner, regardless of size, to compete in the mobile market. I’m excited to provide businesses with a free mobile advertising platform, e-gift cards and the ability to reward new and loyal customers. Providing these benefits at a low rate simply allows us to compete with all other mobile payment and advertising services.”
The Reseller Center is highly intuitive, helping resellers to onboard merchants with a few simple clicks. Once accounts are approved, merchants may immediately accept low-cost payments and offer instant rewards to their customers at every checkout. The new ION Loyalty app for smartphones and tablets features Scan Pay, allowing merchants to accept plastic card payments from their mobile devices without any additional swipe hardware or EMV devices. The Reseller Center provides detailed reporting and supports multiple merchant organizations regardless of size, industry or location.
“Resellers have essentially been locked out of, or limited by the mobile movement up until this point,” said Ronald Herman, CEO and founder of Sionic Mobile. “We are providing resellers the tools needed to compete in an increasingly mobile market. We look forward to working with Chris Bissell and like-minded ISOs and resellers, helping business owners expand their footprint with mobile marketing, build customer loyalty with instant rewards and lower their costs with one of the industry’s best processing rates.”
