Samsung Wallet
Samsung has presented a new app aimed at store and manage all coupons from a single place , tickets and tickets that we buy from our mobile. The Korean company wants to improve its presence in the field of mobile commerce. Through Samsung Wallet, users will be able to centralize all their purchases and easily find all the data related to their offers and events. Developers will be able to access the Samsung Wallet development platform throughout March to improve compatibility with their apps.
Samsungwallet works through third-party applications, such as Hotels.com , Booking.com, Expedia, or Lufthansa. Within the Korean company's app, we register the services that we are going to synchronize with the wallet. Once the user buys a ticket or a coupon for these services, they will have the option to send it directly to Wallet. All the data on this ticket is recorded and the The user will be able to access all their purchases in a centralized way, through a central screen where they can see all the coupons. But the functionality of this app does not end there, since it also allows to expand the information of the event or the offer with our own notes.
Another option available is to create a personalized ticket or card. For example, if we make a contact at work we can write down your personal information (such as email address, position and contact telephone number) and create a personalized card that is placed next to the rest of the cards.In addition, one of the main advantages that this platform includes are the notifications in real time. These notifications serve to alert the user of changes in the tickets they have purchased ( for example, if the flight for which they have purchased the ticket is canceled or the time of an event or concert is altered).
These same notifications can serve as a reminder for the user to be notified when a coupon offer is about to end (Normally, coupons have a finite time in which they can be used and it's not uncommon for some of the coupons to go unnoticed.) There are many similarities between the concept of Samsung Wallet and the Apple Passbok tool,which also It is used to store the different coupons, boarding passes or transport tickets in a single application.
However, Samsung plans to go a step further with Wallet The Korean company wants this service to function not only as a ticket aggregator, but also as a direct mobile payment platform This would be done through the connection NFC (Near Field Communication), which is in full development phase. The company's idea would be to deploy it first in the United States (where the most progress has been made in this field) and then expand it to other markets. Samsung has presented this application at its event for developers Samsung Developer Day within the Mobile World Congress that has just been held in Barcelona.
