Ancillary merchandising company GuestLogix has added crypto-currency capability to its point of sale (POS) platforms, enabling Bitcoin transactions.
It has been integrated into GuestLogix’s Transaction Processing Engine which can handle payments in more than 100 countries from over 80 travel service providers including airlines, ground transportation operators and online travel agencies.
Bitcoin and other crypto-currency payments will be available on GuestLogix’s handheld POS devices and mobile POS platforms for Android, iOS and MS Windows Mobile.
The capability is also available for purchase through aircraft in-flight entertainment systems.
“As ancillary products continue to be a vital business component at virtually every touch point where travel operators connect with their passengers, there is a need to ensure those travellers can use Bitcoin currency consistently as a form of payment within each access point,” said Brett Proud, chief executive of Canada based GuestLogix.
“We are proud that the core components of GuestLogix’s payment solutions will soon be Bitcoin-enabled for all travel operators and ancillary providers to integrate with.”
