New York, Feb. 7, 2013 -- ShopKeep(R) POS, the fastest growing iPad point of sale solution for small businesses, and LevelUp, a leader in mobile loyalty payments, have launched an integrated solution that lets a merchant process mobile payments and build loyalty right from the store's POS system.

With this new integration, merchants can now ring up sales and accept LevelUp payments right from their ShopKeep POS iPad register without switching devices. ShopKeep POS consolidates the LevelUp transactions with all other transaction information into one simple report that can be accessed anywhere. Merchants benefit from LevelUp's 0% payment processing fees, and can participate in loyalty programs to retain customers.

"I love the ShopKeep POS system because it lets me move customers through the line quickly and their customer support is second to none," says Ike Escava, owner of a multi-chain coffee shop in New York City, The Bean. "Now that LevelUp is integrated I can process my cash, credit, and LevelUp transactions all through my ShopKeep iPad register and I get consolidated transaction reports all in one place."

"The mobile payment industry is poised for tremendous growth," says Jason Richelson, ShopKeep POS founder and CEO. "We are dedicated to making business processes simple for our merchants and always aim to offer them the latest tools in the market. LevelUp shares our sensibility and we are thrilled to work with them."

LevelUp's CEO and Chief Ninja Seth Priebatsch couldn't agree more, saying, "By integrating with ShopKeep, we're making the process of accepting mobile payments easier than ever before. A big part of our continued quest to bring mobile payments to everyone is making LevelUp work seamlessly with the existing systems our merchants use every day. In the coming months, we're excited to bring this integration capability to even more merchants."
