ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Pinnacle Corp. has announced that Pinnacle's Palm POS now provides integrated support for InComm's suite of prepaid card products. Retailers can now experience the convenience of selling, activating and processing payments of InComm prepaid cards, all from the point of sale.
InComm offers a large product suite of prepaid and stored-value cards, featuring closed and open-loop gift cards, open-loop reloadable cards, wireless airtime replenishment cards, music download cards, online gaming community cards, long-distance phone cards and more.
Integration into [image-nocss] the POS eliminates hardware previously needed at the store, which saves countertop space and provides the benefit of reduced shrink through accountability.
Pinnacle's Palm POS supports the full range of InComm products, as well as InComm FastPIN products, which eliminate card inventory by printing a PIN and product terms on a Palm receipt.
"InComm cards allow us to broaden our support of prepaid products for the c-store market. Prepaid card products and services continue to be a popular and growing category for our industry. Prepaid branded gift card programs are an excellent way for c-store marketers to promote their brand, generate loyalty and offer a payment option that costs them less," said Denise Lewis, retail solutions manager at Pinnacle.
