GrabScanGo, a leading provider of Managed Lobby Market programs for hotels across the U.S., has launched a groundbreaking App Clip in collaboration with MagTek, a global player in payment technology and security solutions. This innovative feature revolutionises the guest experience by making purchases at hotel lobby markets faster, easier, and more secure than ever before.
An App Clip, as defined by Apple, is a lightweight version of an app designed for quick, task-specific interactions. GrabScanGo’s patent-pending App Clip allows hotel guests to buy snacks, drinks, and travel essentials using just their iPhone and Apple Pay. The process is seamless-no app downloads or account creation required-ensuring a hassle-free shopping experience.
Guests simply scan the App Clip Code displayed at the market to instantly launch the interface on their iPhone. From there, they can scan product barcodes, build their cart, and check out in seconds. Payments are processed securely using MagTek’s Magensa Payment Protection Gateway, which employs advanced encryption and tokenisation to safeguard transactions.
This collaboration eliminates traditional checkout lines and enhances convenience for both guests and hotel operators. “We’re thrilled to partner with MagTek to bring this innovative solution to hotel lobby markets,” said Wilfred Martis, CEO and co-founder of GrabScanGo. “Our App Clip redefines the retail experience, offering unmatched speed and efficiency while ensuring the highest security standards.”
MagTek CEO, Andy Deignan, echoed the sentiment, emphasising the role of Magensa in providing comprehensive, secure payment solutions. “By integrating GrabScanGo’s App Clip with Magensa, we’re demonstrating how payments can be simple, fast, and secure-key factors in building customer trust and loyalty.”
The partnership between GrabScanGo and MagTek represents a significant advancement in hotel retail technology, setting a new standard for convenience and security. Hotel guests can now shop with unprecedented ease, turning lobby markets into a seamless part of their travel experience.
