MERCHANT BRANDED DIGITAL GIFTS

iVPN charges consumers 50 cents for a merchant branded digital mobile gift.

To use the service, a consumer goes to the merchant’s website, or the app powered by iVPN. When inside the store, the consumer shares the phone’s screen, which displays a bar code for the merchant to scan to complete the payment. The gift balance is displayed to inform the consumer of what the consumer has available to spend.

iVPN seamlessly integrates into Merchants’ POS systems on existing debit card rails.

iVPN is utilizing payment technology that has been deployed in over 25,000 c-stores over the last 18 years.

iVPN provides the retailer its own branded app for the gift program. AT NO COST.

Utilizing its technology, iVPN allows for little to no operating costs, no gift card stock cost, no delivery cost and ZERO transaction fees.

After 18 years of exhibiting at NACS conferences, we know that retailers care about their customer experience. So, we designed our digital product to eliminate what consumers dislike about gift programs – losing money on unused cards.

The gift token is good for 90 days.
Every 7 days during the gift period, we send a reminder email prompting the gift recipient that the recipient has money to spend.
In addition, the perfect gift program gives a retailer the opportunity to include couponing to drive activity to the retailer’s store.

BuyLottoNow DIGITAL GIFTS

Lottery, as a sector in c-stores, is faced with an enormous loss of in-store traffic by states and private companies operating iLottery in direct competition to their retail sales agents.

Our platform is designed for consumer engagement to retain and increase in-store traffic. Consumers are carrying less cash and cash is suppressive to lottery sales.

Cash or other payment acceptance methods cannot be used for loyalty. Our platform knows who your lottery players are, where they purchase, how much they spend and how often.

We charge the gift giver a flat convenience fee of $0.50 per transaction, regardless of the transaction amount at the time of purchase.

All approved transactions are guaranteed with next day business settlement.

There are NO REVERSALS, NO CHARGEBACKS. Merchants receive the full tendered amount with a daily settlement report summarizing transactions by store.

BuyLottoNow operates independent of a state lottery or its vendors. We seamlessly integrate into a merchants POS terminal.

iVPN is defined under federal regulations as a payment network. Neither federal laws nor state regulations place any restrictions on debit processing charges or control which party pays them. Charging a processing fee to the purchaser rather than the retailer for the sale of lottery products is permissible in states that allow debit cards for lottery purchases.

iVPN through its BuyLottoNow acceptance brand and its gift card / digital platform is bringing to the 197,000 convenience stores and supermarkets its next generation payment loyalty platform whereby the transaction fee is passed on to the consumer.

iVPN’s consumer engagement tools and platform architecture drive adoption and sales lift for merchants providing consumer driving information for targeted marketing campaigns at no cost.

Merchant Branded Digital Program

iVPN provides the retailer its own branded app for the gift program in the Apple and Google stores AT NO COST.

The iVertical Payment Network (iVPN) merchant branded gift platform takes what your customers like best about your stores…. your gas, coffee, food and sends a gift to a friend, family member, or someone they want to say happy birthday, thank you or something else to. Gifts can be purchased in $5, $10, $15, $20, $25, $50 or $100 denominations.

iVPN charges the sender of the gift a $0.50 convenience fee to send the digital gift.
Guaranteed settlement next business day.
At the time the gift is initiated, iVPN captures the recipient’s name, email, and phone number for message reminders that the recipient has money to spend at the retailer’s store.
To redeem the gift, the recipient goes inside the retailer’s location and shares the phone screen or email, which displays a barcode with the gift amount / balance.
Barcode is active for 90 days. On the 91st day, any remaining balance is returned to the gift giver.
iVPN is utilizing PDI integration into the various POS systems.

iVPN is defined under federal regulations as a payment network.
