Tap to spend is now available in Guatemala in Hostel Del Lago, a huge 50 bed Hotel at Lake Atitlan.
- Each guest is given a Hive Debit NFC card when the check in, they can top up that card anytime they like (see following video to see top up process)
- They can then use hivedbeit.com to do tap payments on the local POS
- On the back of each card there are 3 QR codes. 1) scan to claim 5% cashback on their purchases at businesses at the property, 2) scan to check card balance, 3) scan to check hotel and event info.
This integration uses both @thedistriator and @hivedebit tech as one integration and allows seemless, feeless tap payments with cash back in the business.
The business gets more cash flowing in and being spent at the business premises as a result, it also gets a bunch of content and feedback directly from clients at the hostel as they claim cashback, so that the business has a better route to listen to its clients.
In future plans, we intend to link these tap cards to room locks at the business, so that clients can top up their cards to spend, open their rooms and even exchnge phone numbers witb each other by tapping their cards to POS devices, door locks and to the back of each other's phones.
Thanks to @ninaeatshere (maanger at the business), @jthomasewsky (developer for Hive Debit), @sagarkothari88 (developer for Distriator), @buttcoins (Business owner) and @starkerz (Project implementation manager).
