UK start-up Saturn Express 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 MishiPay 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. Saturn Express trialled the app with French DIY company Leroy Merlin. Founder and CEO Mustafa Khanwala said the app would allow bricks-and-mortar retailers to compete with online retailers.
