Star Micronics integrates mobile payment app into AsuraCPRNT

March 10, 2014

Star Micronics announced its partnership with U.K.-based mobile payment company Ensygnia. Backed by Telefonica's technology start-up accelerator Wayra, Ensygnia has developed the mobile payment app Onescan that has been integrated into the AsuraCPRNT "all-in-one" interactive communication platform from Star Micronics.

The patented Onescan process from Ensygnia enables retailers to sell products via a digital screen with customers using their smartphone to scan the screen and make purchases through the secure mobile payment app, according to a company news release. As a result, any customer viewing a promotion and holding an iOS or Android device can purchase on the go with just one scan, making it ideal for endless aisle applications, the release said.

"Star Micronics are innovative leaders in their field and share the same vision as Ensygnia for a simple fast and secure shopping experience, reducing queues and basket abandonment," said Richard H Harris, CEO, Ensygnia. "Working together and being at RBTE is a fantastic opportunity for us to demonstrate to retailers how we can allow any connected device with a camera to interact with the screen on the AsuraCPRNT."
