LevelUp announced that it has integrated with three of the top ten POS systems, MICROS, POSitouch, and Dinerware.

“Integrating with MICROS, POSitouch, and Dinerware, three of the largest point of sale companies in the country, is a huge opportunity for LevelUp,” said LevelUp Rockstar and Vice President of Partner Development Christina Dorobek. “Our strategy is to seamlessly work with the existing systems our merchants use every day, so LevelUp not only becomes easy for the consumer to use, but also ultra-simple for the merchant to introduce. LevelUp brings real value in the form of campaigns, and now merchants will easily be able to track this data within their existing POS system.”

PayByGroup has announced the beta launch of a web-based application that facilitates multiple-party group purchases.

“For many people, finding out who is committed and what everyone owes takes quite a bit of time, energy and coordination, and frankly can be quite uncomfortable,” said Camilo Acosta, CEO of PayByGroup. “The platform is a game-changer in terms of eliminating the friction often associated with these activities and providing a simple channel for users to spread the word to potential participants via email, Facebook and Twitter.”

PayByGroup allows organizers to choose how to split the cost among individuals, and the service can charge different amounts based on how many people join. Website is located at www.paybygroup.com.
