Individual Checkout

At the real,- Future Store, customers can pay for their shopping at various checkouts – and determine the degree of convenience and speed. Checkouts with service staff are available in a sufficient number. Here, staff members scan the items for the customer. The total amount can then be paid in cash, by debit card or by credit card.

A new feature is the Pay by Fingerprint option. For this method, it is sufficient to have the thumb or forefinger scanned at the checkout with a special reading system. Giving a signature, entering a PIN or the hassle of looking for change are not necessary any longer. The only thing customers have to do for this checkout method is to register for the Payeasy payment service provided by Easycash, to leave their bank account data and to scan a sample of their fingerprint which is encoded to ensure the security of this payment method.

In addition, it will in future be possible to use the Mobile Shopping Assistant (MSA)  for paying.

At the Self-Checkouts, the customer himself takes over. They scan the barcodes of their purchases and then pay directly at the unit.

Another variant is the Express Self-Checkout. Here, customers scan the barcodes of their purchases. After that, they receive a voucher which they then take to the paystation. There, they choose between the payment methods: cash, card or fingerprint. Since more paystations than Express Self-Checkouts are available for scanning the items, customers determines the payment speed themselves without feeling the pressure of customers waiting behind them. In addition, anonymity is increased, e.g. when entering the PIN.

If customers use their Mobile Shopping Assistant (MSA)  to register their purchases, they can directly go to the paystation in the area of the Express Self-Checkouts. Irrespective of the selected checkout method, participants in the Payback bonus program will always have the possibility to have the bonus points for their purchases credited.
