Payment Processing
LevelUp offers an app that enables businesses to accept credit and debit card payments in a unique way, distinct from traditional merchant account providers. The service is marketed to consumers as a secure method to store payment card information and pay businesses using unique QR codes displayed on their mobile devices. This technology allows customers to connect with LevelUp clients and earn rewards for loyalty and first-time visits. For businesses, LevelUp provides data and insights about customer visitation and purchasing patterns, which can be used to enhance engagement through customizable loyalty programs and targeted incentives for new customers.
A Secure Supplement
LevelUp is designed as a marketing supplement rather than a replacement for traditional merchant accounts. Businesses join the program by downloading an app for their iPhone or Android device and completing a short setup process. LevelUp can also provide an optional countertop docking station and an Android app to read customer QR codes. The company handles payment data storage, minimizing risk for both clients and consumers.

LevelUp’s “Order Ahead” functionality allows customers to place orders in advance through the app, enabling them to skip the line and improve their overall experience.
Integration Capabilities
LevelUp is compatible with various point-of-sale systems and can be integrated into existing hardware and software solutions, providing convenience for businesses with established POS systems.
