CardFlight, a mobile point-of-sale technology provider, announced the release of version 2.0 of its SwipeSimple mobile application, according to a press release. The updated app is now available in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

With the latest release, CardFlight said SwipeSimple now offers even more features to enable merchants to accept payments and manage their business on the go from smartphones and tablets. Merchants and resellers can benefit from industry-leading functionality, including:

• Offline mode — allows merchants to accept a payment even if they do not have a live data connection
• Inventory and item tracking — allows merchants to update and manage their inventory via the app and dashboard
• Customizable email and SMS receipts — allows merchants to add specific business details to their receipts
• Multimerchant account and multi-employee support — allows merchants to toggle between multiple locations for payments and reporting, and offers both owner and employee level user accounts
• Customizable settings synchronized across devices — allows a merchant to select whether to prompt for a tip, default suggested tip amounts, and local sales tax rates, with cloud-based settings automatically kept in sync across multiple devices
• Demo mode — allows resellers and merchants to explore the app without signing in. Prospective users can test out SwipeSimple's functionality without having to sign up for an account

First launched in 2014, SwipeSimple includes encrypted mobile card readers, payment acceptance applications for iOS and Android devices, a real-time reporting and admin dashboard for merchants, and a reseller portal for easy onboarding and portfolio management.

SwipeSimple is offered by a network of dozens of resellers including leading banks, merchant service providers and independent sales organizations.

"As a technology company focused exclusively on mobile payments, we know how fast the mobile ecosystem is evolving," said Derek Webster, founder and CEO of CardFlight. "Our team works hard to ensure that our products are best in class, and we're proud of the expanded functionality that SwipeSimple 2.0 offers to merchants."
