Adyen Shuttle is a mobile payment terminal that enables merchants to accept chip & PIN card transactions at the point-of-sale, connecting via Bluetooth to any Android or iOS mobile device. The solution is fully EMV (Europay, MasterCard, Visa) compliant, meaning that it can process payments for all credit and debit cards. Crucially, the Adyen Shuttle terminal utilises the same Internet-based reporting interface as Adyen’s online and mobile payment solutions, meaning that merchants can implement a multichannel payment strategy through one, simple integration.
Patrick de Laive, Co-Founder, The Next Web, explained, “For an organizer or business owner it is expensive and often painfully difficult to accept on-site debit and credit card payments. The Adyen Shuttle erases this friction. It is easy to set up, reliable and accepts all card payments as part of an elegant solution. There are simply no more excuses for event organisers not to accept card payments.”
Since its European launch in December 2012, Adyen has seen phenomenal demand for its Shuttle MPOS solution across a very wide range of industry sectors and from businesses of all sizes – small specialist stores right up to multinational brands. Shuttle is currently being used to take card payments at point-of-sale by taxi and delivery firms, market traders, high street fashion retailers, driving schools, bed & breakfasts, boat rental, event organisers, luxury retailers and healthcare brands amongst many others rtls.
All in Solo, a driving school based in Rotterdam, recently started using Adyen to take online reservations for driving lessons and uses Shuttle to take payment at point-of-sale. Rinus Verheij, Managing Director, All in Solo, said “The Adyen payment solution and Shuttle mobile point-of-sale device provides us with a low cost way to easily accept payments for lessons in our driving school cars. The solution will help us grow our business and increases security for our drivers who no longer have to carry cash in cars. The Adyen Shuttle is an essential part of the professional service we deliver to our customers.”
“Shuttle has been developed to bring complete mobility to point-of-sale commerce, and for events such as TNW Conference 2013, it makes accepting credit and debit card transactions easy,” explained Roelant Prins, CCO, Adyen. “We have been delighted with uptake for the Shuttle solution, which offers a natural extension of our online and mobile payment solution, and provides complete integration across all sales channels.”
Last season's Champions League winners went in front when Branislav Ivanovic - victim of Luis Suarez's bite - won a header which went in off Victor Moses, who claimed his third goal in as many Europa League games.
The visitors should have scored again prior to Fernando Torres striking the post before Cesar Azpilicueta was adjudged to have fouled Valentin Stocker and Fabian Schar converted an 87th-minute penalty. However, Chelsea responded and Luiz's late intervention earned the advantage ahead of next week's return at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea, who had lost four of their five prior European away games, missed numerous chances and Luiz's shot skipped around the wall and inside the post after John Terry had been denied by goalkeeper Yann Sommer's point-blank save earlier in stoppage time.
Chelsea, playing in white, had to be patient as Basle started well before Azpilicueta raced down the right and crossed to the near post, where Lampard's prod towards goal was turned away for a corner by Sommer. Lampard's set-piece was met by Ivanovic, whose header deflected off Moses and bounced inside the far post.
Eden Hazard, playing centrally behind Torres, was doing his utmost to find openings in the Basle defence, but all too frequently Chelsea gave the ball away. Torres twice had half-chances before Lampard found Ramires and the Brazilian's dipping shot from the right was saved well by Sommer.
Much of the second half was disjointed and punctuated by mistakes as Chelsea were forced to repel repeated Basle attacks. Fabian Frei shot narrowly wide from the edge of the box and Cole received a yellow card for time wasting at a throw-in before Aleksandar Dragovic was booked for a sliding challenge on Torres, meaning the defender will now miss the second leg.
Hazard made way for Juan Mata and Lampard was replaced by Oscar as Chelsea's search for a second continued to prove elusive. Basle substitute Marcelo Diaz curled an effort narrowly wide and Cech collected at the feet of Mohamed Salah after the winger had been played in by Dragovic. But Chelsea found themselves level when Azpilicueta was ruled to have hauled down Stocker in the area and Schar sent the ball down the middle of Cech's goal.
