For customers, there is the added benefit of now being able to pay anywhere in-store, avoiding long checkout lines. To pay and add products to their basket, customers just need to use their smartphone to scan the digital price tag from SES-imagotag. Product information, e-coupons and much more will now be made accessible to shoppers, giving them quicker access to more information.
With a quick tap on their smartphones, customers can select their preferred method of payment and complete their purchases.
This solution suits all retail sectors, from grocery supermarkets to fashion stores. Retailers in the clothing sector can, for example simply integrate the so-called ‘fashiontags’ instead of security badges on the clothes.
Michael Unmüßig, senior executive vice president marketing at SES-imagotag, said: “Our aim is to guide retailers toward constant innovation, ultra-efficient processes, seamless omnichannel retailing and boosted brand sales. We are very proud to partner with a company such as Wirecard, which will enable us to combine our ESL solution with digital payments. Through this partnership, we also become the very first digital price tag company 100% compatible with Alipay and WeChat Pay, global leaders in m-Payments.”
