WALTHAM, Mass. — Peppercoin, a payments technology company, announced in a news release that TouchMedia has selected the Peppercoin Small Payment Suite to process digital transactions more efficiently at its TouchStand and TouchView in-store digital media stations. The Peppercoin solution will offer TouchMedia's retailers an affordable way to accept credit and debit cards at the kiosks on a pay-per-use, prepaid or subscription basis, fostering revenue growth and experimentation in the sale of digital media products.
With the launch of paid digital products in 2006, consumers soon will be able to purchase and download songs to their flash drives, MP3 players and other digital devices, and also burn custom CDs and DVDs. TouchMedia systems can be found at more than 125 retailer locations nationwide including Tower Records, Twist and Shout, and many of the Altitunes stores found in major U.S. airports.
Peppercoin provides point-of-sale and online merchants tools to maximize profitability from small payments. Peppercoin's Intelligent Aggregation module allows merchants to adjust — either manually or automatically — a variety of aggregation settings, which reduces processing costs. Peppercoin's online consumer self-care resolves service issues quickly and at a fraction of the cost of traditional customer service.
