Login with your phone number in Two Tap

It's been a while since we wrote about updates to Two Tap, but here's a big one. We've found a significant percentage of our users forgot their Two Tap password by the time they encountered our shopping cart the second time. Using a two tap buying process seems difficult if you can't really access your wallet. We're now linking a customer's payment credentials to their telephone number. Problem solved, there's no password to remember. In our recent update, as soon as a visitor enters their email address in the form a unique pin code is sent to their phone if they're an existing user. That's used to pull up the wallet info.

It's also secure, as in order for someone to order with your wallet they would need access to both your phone (you are using a security code on it, right?) AND your CCV code for the stored payment option. Order any product online by entering your email address, a 5 digit pin and your CCV code? Sweet!

Two Tap rocking Honey 2.0

Honey launched their 2.0 product and we were so caught up with work that we forgot to give a shout out to the great team at Honey. Honey 2.0 takes the beloved product further to integrate a universal shopping cart powered by Two Tap. The deep integration also automatically applies discounts to shopping where codes are available from Honey's database.

There's a lot we could say but Sarah Perez recently reviewed it in TechCrunch and called the product a no-brainer twice, check for yourselves. We just want to send our congrats to the great team at Honey for pulling off a great product!

Two Tap Concierge is here to save orders on 100+ stores

A significant percentage of carts are lost due to customer input errors. This is true especially on devices that don't have a full keyboard. We're all guilty of making a decision to buy something, going through the data input quickly for a checkout and then getting an error at the end. A significant amount of orders are lost in the process. We're announcing the Two Tap Concierge service as an answer to this. It's a simple evolution of our product that extends into direct customer service. At the end of any transaction, if there's been difficulties in placing the order a customer can select to be contacted to fix the problem. Having the assurance of someone looking after your order is a step towards achieving convenient buying on any platform, in any context. Two Tap Concierge is an opt-in service available to customers using Two Tap Checkout and is available on a per order basis.

In typical fashion, premium support is requested with just two taps or clicks depending on the used platform.

Two Tap Concierge now supports email and phone support and is available throughout the Two Tap publisher network immediately.

It's Been A Long, Long Day, But Here, Listen To Some Bands!

After working way too hard yesterday (i.e. finding myself ensconced in a 'meeting' down the pub between the hours of 2pm and 7.15, before returning to the office, po-go-ing to Idlewild whilst sending emails, before heading to Hoxton Bar & Kitchen and then on to the Bull & Gate), today has turned out to be a bit of a long one.

So before I clock off for yet more Bull & Gate-shaped frolics, this time with our friends at Two-Tap PR and Crushed Beaks for the penultimate dose of this year's 'fierce panda's pandamonium', I think I should share with you Southampton's Spectral Park, and their tune, 'Pale Glistens':

Spectral Park embark on a European Tour supporting Unknown Mortal Orchestra in Feb - what a lark!

Also, this bunch from Seattle, know as The Blakes, might be worth keeping an eye on, too. Here is their latest vid, 'Narwhal', but be warned, this content is not for those who may be offended by ladies' bums:

Onward!
