Wide Open Spaces integrates Unbound Commerce and Magento for its m-commerce site.
Customers of members-only flash sale e-retailer Wide Open Spaces are often quite far from a PC. They’re hunters and fishermen who like good deals. And they needed a way to keep track of flash sales while in the great outdoors. So Wide Open Spaces built a mobile commerce web site.

Customers with smartphones can visit http://www.Cavenders.com and automatically get a mobile-optimized experience, including full catalog, online purchasing and directions to the nearest store.
Unbound Commerce today announced that it will participate as a Google Wallet platform partner. Unbound is now authorized to deliver Google Wallet checkout functionality in the context of the mobile commerce sites that Unbound builds and deploys for leading national retailers and brands.
Visitors to mobile commerce sites displaying the Google Wallet button can use Google Wallet to checkout, which can reduce friction during the cart interaction process. Mobile consumers who use Google Wallet do not have to type in their shipping and billing information, credit card number, etc. Google Wallet users simply type in their Google usernames and password to pay, which can increase conversion rates and customer satisfaction.
Partner retailers and brands can retain their existing payment processors since the Google Wallet API that Unbound has access to is integrated into its mobile commerce site offering. Best of all, there are no additional fees for accepting Google Wallet on a mobile commerce site, and all payments are sent through the existing credit card processor the retailer uses.
“We are always looking for new ways to streamline the consumer interaction flow for our retailers and brands and are pleased to join forces with the Google Wallet team,”said Wilson Kerr, Unbound’s VP of Business Development & Sales. “Google does not do anything in a small way and we believe they will be a strong force in the mobile payments space. Our retailers are embracing this single click checkout option and we have multiple large brands committed”, he added.

Top mobile commerce solution provider Unbound Commerce today announced the launch of a new program called Digital Pop-Up Stores (DPS). This new feature allows commerce functionality to be infused within a mobile landing page or digital ad.
What differentiates the program is that, for the first time, rich product detail options like style, color and size can be selected by consumers, without leaving the mobile page or ad or refreshing the page. The order is then dropped deep within a retailer’s mobile commerce checkout flow.
This increases conversion rates and allows merchants to assign sales conversion metrics to ads or mobile landing pages, including Facebook ads. Because the page does not need to connect back to the mobile commerce engine behind it until the end of the consumer interaction, the experience is smooth and fast for mobile consumers.
“DPS is a powerful new way for our clients to both drive sales and measure ad effectiveness at the same time. Not just by clicks or by impressions, but by actual mobile sales conversions that can now take place within the ad. We feel this could be a game-changer”, said Srinivasarao Nandiwada, Unbound Commerce co-founder and CTO.
When combined with the QR code generator in the dashboard all Unbound clients have access to, any ad, point of sale, or printed packaging can become the trigger for a pop-up store for mobile customers, at virtually no cost. This links mobile commerce and mobile marketing in a powerful new way, and tracks the resulting sales.
