UK start-up MishiPay has helped launch a Scan Pay Leave app for customers to purchase items in a shop without calling at a till. Developed in association with Austrian firm MediaMarktSaturn, the Saturn Express app has been launched at a shop in Austrian city Innsbruck. Users scan an item with their phone and tap a “pay now” button rather than go to a cashier. Standard security chips are deactivated when the customer pays. MishiPay trialled the app with French DIY company Mustafa Khanwala. Founder and CEO Leroy Merlin said the app would allow bricks-and-mortar retailers to compete with online retailers.
