3Q HOLDINGS LTD 
By Island Pacific is amongst Australia's first POS Vendors to interface to PayPal In Store
Sydney, 14 November 2012 - Island Pacific, a leading global provider of software solutions and services to the retail industry, today unveiled an interface between the market-leading digital payments provider, PayPal and Island Pacific's point-of-sale (POS) and mobile solutions.
The interface enables tech savvy shoppers to use their iPhone to locate businesses near their immediate location that will accept PayPal as a form of payment. Upon deciding to make a purchase from one of these stores, the shopper can simply authorise payment from their mobile device.
Details of the transaction, the consumer's photo and other identification information appear on the store operator's point of sale system. The store operator uses this to confirm the purchaser's identity and the funds are instantly transferred from the customer's PayPal account to the retailer's account.
Andrew Rechtman, PayPal commented, "Island Pacific's omni-channel POS solutions, both mobile and desktop are ideally suited as an access point to PayPal's digital wallet. We are thrilled to see how well Island Pacific have integrated our API's to create a delightful merchant and consumer experience."
The PayPal app simplifies a secure method of payment and provides a complete transaction audit trail.
Clive Klugman, CEO, Island Pacific Australia said, "PayPal, as the world's leading digital payments company, has great brand recognition. Consumers are used to the convenience, security and simplicity of purchasing goods online using PayPal. What we are doing today is extending all those benefits to purchases in the store."
The functionality has been made possible by an interface between the PayPal payment app and Island Pacific's software. The interface is being provided as a standard software upgrade for all Island Pacific POS and mobile solutions customers.
This innovation leverages Island Pacific's traditional POS solutions which support the entire retail supply chain including, POS, multi-channel, wholesale, mobile, planning, business intelligence and manufacturing.
Island Pacific's Mobile's interactive features include, fast sales transactions, customer search with customers' key performance statistics, options to email or print dockets, lay-by, product enquiries, stocktake and customer loyalty programs.
