Now you can get paid or pay a friend back on the spot with this new feature called Bump Pay made for iPhones and Androids. Once a feature on an app, Bump is now stepping out to launch a standalone app.
Bump Pay makes it easy so you don’t have to run to the bank and waste time, as it lets you pay someone by tapping both phones together. All there is to it is typing in the amount you’d like to transfer; the money is then sent through PayPal, where they take care of the rest of the process. There are no fees for Bump Pay, which is sort of ironic considering its purpose.
“We think of Bump Pay as solving a specific problem — helping people repay each other in person after having dinner or after paying for gas on a road trip, ” says Dave Lieb, CEO of Bump.

Converse shoes has just flipped the switch with the ‘Converse: Made By‘ app. Now you, the customer, can design your own pair of shoes and sell them over Facebook. Unlike previous customizeable clothing apps such as Nike’s, this campaign not only gives you full control, but also allows you to let other people buy your design.
So what does this mean? That means that you can design a shoe as off-the-wall as you wish, post it on Facebook and then enable someone halfway across the world to buy it. This app is not yet live, but with Converse being home for over 40,000 fans on Facebook, this seems like a successful endeavor already. There are rumblings that ‘Converse: Made By‘ may even lead to users being able to open up their own online storefront to showcase their work.
