NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ShopKeep, the top rated tablet-to-cloud payments and point-of-sale platform chosen by more than 25,000 independent retailers and restaurants, announced it has launched a version of the ShopKeep register app designed to run on the Android operating system - making ShopKeep’s industry leading software available to run on the wide variety of POS hardware platforms that now leverage Android as their base operating system.
The software will initially be deployed on First Data’s Clover devices. ShopKeep register app for Android launched earlier this month on the Clover Mini device and is slated to be available on the larger Clover Station in Q3 of this year. ShopKeep plans to expand the availability of its Android Register via additional partnerships that will be announced later this year.
The release of ShopKeep for Android is a major development for the company, which up to now has deployed its app exclusively on Apple’s iOS platform. In addition to providing small business owners with a wider range of hardware options, it also helps reduce start-up costs for entrepreneurs, who are now able to purchase a dedicated all-in-one hardware solution retailing for just $499.
“Extending ShopKeep to Android-based hardware platforms ensures that both our customers and partners have access to the full range of device options available in the market,” said Michael DeSimone ShopKeep’s CEO. “We are very excited to deploy our solution on the Clover platform as a first step in expanding the availability of ShopKeep in the market, and plan to extend our reach onto several hardware platforms through the back half of 2018.”
ShopKeep first announced an expanded partnership with First Data in February, 2017.
