Description
The Switch to Thumbzup app is a temporary app that will be available for a limited period for existing Absa customers only. This app allows customers who are currently integrated via intent to older versions of the Payment Pebble ® Companion API to continue to process payments until such time as they are ready to migrate to the latest Thumbzup Companion API.
The app supports the Payment Pebble ® Audio device, a secure card reader small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. It enables sales, refunds, electronic debit order approval and provides access to daily statements.

The new app supports both the Payment Pebble ® Audio and the new Payment Pebble ® Air.

I absolutely love my pebble!!! Had difficulty when I switched phones to turn the screen around because the earphone jack was now at the bottom, but just went to the settings and turned it around there. I highly recommend the pebble!!!! Quick and easy to use and so, so convenient. Thank you, Absa, for the great initiative!!!
