InComms Cashtie Cloud Match Service enables providers and retailers to manage and process mobile barcode transactions without changes to the point-of-sale (POS) system, leveraging the established host-to-host connectivity between InComm and the retailer and InComms barcode activation.
To use the service, a consumer selects to display an InComm-enabled barcode for a coupon, payment or loyalty transaction within a mobile application and presents the barcode on their mobile phone to a cashier to be scanned. When the barcode is scanned from the mobile phone at the POS, the Cashtie Cloud Match Service receives the transaction information. The cloud match service uses the transaction details to match, in the cloud, the transaction at a specific cash register within a particular retail location and the provider that is associated with the barcode. Cashtie then shares this information with the provider, who matches it to a specific consumer and responds with the transaction details for making a payment, receiving a discount or gaining loyalty points. Cashtie then sends the details for the transaction back to the POS either via InComms proprietary switching technology, as part of InComms Enhanced Payment Platform or to a third party switching service used by the retailer.
