Durability and secure credit card transactions are often the main concerns merchants have for their POS system. Griffin's Kiosk Retail addresses these pain points with an integrated magnetic card reader and impact-resistant housing for the iPad. For secure transactions, the built-in magnetic card reader is TDES encrypted and has DUKPT key management, similar to the current MagTek® swiper that ShopKeep POS offers.

"We take merchant feedback very seriously. Some of our larger merchants need a sturdier solution to move customers through the line as quickly and efficiently as possible," says Jason Richelson, CEO and founder of ShopKeep POS. "Griffin Technology is renowned for its creative take on industrial design and we are thrilled to offer our customers the Kiosk Retail to help them run their stores better."

"We researched many POS companies before selecting ShopKeep POS as an exclusive launch partner for the Kiosk Retail in the United States," said Dean Shortland, Director of Business Development at Griffin Technology. "We are devoted to creating intuitively designed solutions that enhance user experience and the simple and powerful solutions that ShopKeep POS offers to small businesses fit well with our company focus. Plus, with over 3,500 merchants across the country, they are the leading iPad POS company in the US, and we are looking to scale our solution quickly."

ShopKeep POS is an easy-to-use and flexible point-of-sale solution embraced by thousands of US merchants to manage inventory, customers, and facilitate transactions, all from an iPad. The subscription-based service includes unlimited seven-days-a-week customer care by phone, email and online chat, ensuring its customers are never in the dark and always able to get the help they need when they need it.
