SparkBase has Class A-certified its gift and loyalty card processing application on Hypercom Corp.’s Optimum M4230 mobile payment terminal for the retail and restaurant markets. The certification reportedly enables gift, loyalty and community rewards transactions on the Optimum M4230 to be conducted from virtually anywhere on the SparkBase Network. Additionally, SparkBase released version 3.0 of its private-label network. New functionality includes a redesigned user interface, enhanced simple message service text messaging and e-mail marketing, and an online card designer. An enhanced suite of application programming interface tools is also part of the upgrade.
