7‑Eleven® announced a new mobile self-checkout feature, Scan & Pay, is to launched in 14 7‑Eleven stores in the Dallas area, giving customers a convenient checkout alternative to waiting in a long line. Scan & Pay works on both Android and iOS devices and is available for all 7‑Eleven merchandise excluding items that require cashier assistance — hot foods, financial services and age-verified products such as alcohol, tobacco and lottery tickets.
With Scan & Pay, customers can use their smartphones to scan and pay for items while they shop, enabling them to skip the line and get on with their day. This new frictionless shopping experience is integrated into the 7Rewards loyalty program, allowing customers to automatically earn 7Rewards points upon purchase, redeem points to purchase applicable products, as well as receive all in-store promotions.
Editor's Insight: 7-Eleven has been stepping into the convenience services industry this past year, and this is another move. This mobile self-checkout appears to be similar to a kiosk-less micro market or dongle micro market where customers use the app to scan and pay for items. 7-Eleven was an exhibitor at NAMA this Spring and is a bronze sponsor at the upcoming Coffee, Tea and Water Show.
