New Mobile Payment Solution from Google
Available Beginning Wednesday, September 16, in Staples Retail
Locations
Staples, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPLS), one of the world’s largest
internet retailers, announced today that Android Pay, a new mobile
payment solution that offers customers simplicity, security and
choice when paying with their Android phones, will be live in
Staples stores on Wednesday, September 16.
Android Pay is making in-store payments simpler for every
Android user. When customers go into a Staples store, they will be
able to simply unlock their phone, tap it to the payment terminal
and they’re done. Customers will also be able to save their Staples
Rewards and gift cards in the Android Pay app so they are at their
fingertips when they pay.
“Staples knows that today’s small business customers rely on
their phones more than ever to make purchases and save time,” said
Alison Corcoran, senior vice president, marketing, North American
stores & online, Staples, Inc. “With Android Pay, shoppers can
quickly and securely pay for their products, so they can focus on
making more happen for their business.”
"We want to make in-store payments simpler for everyone, so
we've worked with Staples to enable Android Pay in all of their
more than 1,300 locations. This adds to the list of over one
million merchants in the US where people can seamlessly tap and pay
with their Android phones," said Spencer Spinnell, Director,
Business Development, Google.
Android Pay will be available via an app download in the Google
Play store, and can be used starting next week at Staples
stores.
