M-Payment

PayPal generated 27 billion transactions in the world in 2013 or + 99 % of increase with compared with 2012,150 millions via mobile and 6 millions in France.
For PayPal, the payment must be practically transparent in the customer route. Two examples begin this movement:

  • Uber, enter other, suggests paying in a single click, when the majority of taxis recommend the liquid to the detriment of the credit card
  • Uber just like McDonald is going to develop their ” PayPal One click ” by substituting the code to be seized by the use of the fingerprint on Smartphone.

Mentioned during the same Round Table, the PowaTag application allows any smartphone to recognize numerous signals: bar codes, QR codes, audio tags, NFC or still Bluetooth Low Energy. When we lean an advertising there, it is possible to start an action from an advertising poster or from a advert on the television. This type of action can be the sharing of a product on Facebook, its addition in a wishlist or in a basket, for a purchase. This use is used by Tesco for products ” Take Away “.

In conclusion, the mobile is erasing barriers between the One and the Offline. The habits of the consumers so pass from a universe to the other one according to their needs. But also within companies, this phenomenon leads to the transformations and obliges them to rethink their organization to face these new stakes.
