BOSTON, MA — (Marketwired) — 04/25/13 — Today, and are announcing a $1 million co-sponsored development fund, which will support the creation of custom-branded mobile payment apps running on the LevelUp White-Label platform for merchants around the country. Qualifying merchants will be able to tap into the fund to sponsor 25 percent of the cost of a custom-developed mobile payment and loyalty app, along with seamless integration with the Customer Engagement Platform.
“More and more merchants are looking for ways to engage their customer base across multiple channels,” said Henry Helgeson, CEO of Merchant Warehouse. “Mobile gives merchants a tremendous opportunity to know their customers better than ever before. LevelUp and Merchant Warehouse want to give more merchants the opportunity to extend the reach of their brand and tap into a wealth of customer data to help them grow their businesses.”
Merchants interested in participating in the development fund will get financial backing from Merchant Warehouse and LevelUp to cover 25 percent of their development costs for a custom LevelUp White-Label app. This mobile payment app combines the strength of a merchant-s brand with LevelUp-s sophisticated mobile payment, loyalty and security infrastructure. Merchants will also tap into the Merchant Warehouse Genius platform, which allows them to use the power of the customer data generated through their LevelUp White-Label app to create a powerful long-term customer engagement strategy.
