7-Eleven has launched a 10-store trial of the next generation of Pay & Go technology, powered by Grabango, to enable customers to shop faster.
7-Eleven Australia’s Pay & Go 2.0 trial means uses computer vision to allow customers to pay for their shopping with a single tap of a debt or credit card or by using the My 7-Eleven app, negating the need to scan individual items.
Stephen Eyears, General Manager – Technology and Strategy at 7-Eleven Australia, said Grabango technology uses computer vision to ‘see’ every product in the store, eliminating the need for customers to scan individual items.
“The next generation of Pay & Go, which has been developed with our partner Grabango, is part of our commitment to trialing innovative digital capabilities to serve our customers and provide them with faster shopping experiences.”
Customers who have registered for the My 7-Eleven app will receive an automatic app update and simply need to accept the updated terms and conditions. Customers who do not have My 7-Eleven app can still experience this way to pay by simply tapping or inserting their debit or credit cards on the Pay Station on their way out at one of the ten trial stores.
Will Glaser, Founder and CEO of Grabango, said 7-Eleven Australia is an innovative retailer and, like them, has a hyperfocus on delivering convenience to its customers.
“The beauty of this latest technology is it gives shoppers the option of avoiding the need to queue at the counter to pay or to scan individual items using the My 7-Eleven Pay and Go, regardless of how many items they buy. There’s no special shelves, carts, or gates, making the next generation of Pay and Go a fast and easy way to check out.”
