Perk Labs has formally launched new verticals and unveiled the design of its new contact free payment method for safe-distance payments.
In contrast to contactless payments, "contact free" payments require absolutely no touch and can be made from a safe physical distance.
By downloading Perk Hero, merchants can convert a smartphone or tablet into a device that can accept contact free payments through both ordering and pay-by-scanning-QR technology. In addition to the need for "pay-from-table" in restaurants and cafes, the company saw the need for "contact free" payments in multiple verticals including: dental clinics, retails stores, and health and beauty retail.
The initial merchants in these verticals that have signed up to be listed on the Perk Hero App include three dental clinics and a hair salon/barber shop. According to the press release, the company also noticed a tremendous amount of interest in contact free payments from restaurateurs, as they prepare to re-open their doors for dine-in.
Perk Labs created a payment stand for placement in these locations so that customers can be aware that they can safely pay by QR code and earn rewards every time they pay.
