Non-Mobile Digital Payment Solutions – ToneTag’s Plug & Play acoustics omnichannel solution provides a faster and autonomous payment and checkout experience to businesses and customers alike with its ground wrecking audio and voice technology. This solution enables customers to make secure and reliable peer-to-peer (P2P) or peer-to-merchant (P2M) payments on any mobile device using their voice in any language and dialect. It generates an identification code that is unique to the customer’s voice which is then used for authenticating payments.
Context-Based Retail Payment Solutions – ToneTag’s Plug & Play Zone is engineered to create a virtual area or ‘Sound Zone’ inside a store that can be detected by the customer’s mobile phone. The hardware-agnostic audio and voice technology enables sound based proximity engagements and payments that are contactless, frictionless and secure. The customer can simply use their voice to select products, find their location in the store and pay the bill without having to physically interact with any store staff or cashiers. The module operates on tokenized data followed by audio encryption frameworks that allow for a completely secure transaction process.
