Express with white-label support​

We are proud to release the new version of our ad hoc payment application, Express! New version of Express provides white label support, which allows modifying the look-and-feel (company logo and information) of the application to support your branding. You can update the branding settings under "Customer Details" page. Express can easily be taken into use by updating charger specific Express settings on the Charger page. Just provide the URL ending for the charger and setup your pricing scheme for the Express and you are ready to go!

We are preparing to launch a new version of Express, which allows white labeling the user interface to match your brand! To support this, we have released new settings in eMabler UI.
