MishiPay launches in UAE, allows shoppers to scan and pay

Are you tired of waiting at checkout counters after shopping? Scan & Go technology provider MishiPay has launched its operations in the UAE, eliminating the need for queuing at the checkout counter.

The payment ecosystem has deployed its self-checkout technology across Virgin Megastore outlets. This will allow shoppers in retail stores to simply pick up a product they want to buy, scan the barcode with their phone, pay through the phone and just walk out.

Mustafa Khanwala, CEO and founder of MishiPay said, “The beauty of our technology is that it is valuable to both shops and shoppers. We have created a process that is seamless and frictionless for customers, and we are delighted that the outstanding commercial results and positive shopper feedback have powered the next phase in the deployment at reputed stores in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.”

“Entering a new market for the first time is always very exciting, and to do so with a brand as strong as Virgin Megastore has been a brilliant experience. There is a clear synergy between our brand and the cutting-edge experiences we want to create for customers. We are looking forward to bringing the benefits of our technology to more shoppers in the UAE and elsewhere in the Middle East in the coming weeks,” he added.

Most recently, MishiPay has also expanded its product line to cover 100 per cent of the store transactions which now includes a tablet-based self-checkout kiosk. The technology increases average basket value by 35 per cent which eliminates long checkout queues and increases the efficiency of shop floor staff.

MishiPay was launched to help shoppers to scan and pay for their shopping with their smartphones, without wasting time at the checkout in London in 2015. They experienced rapid growth in the UK, Europe and the USA working with retailers such as MUJI, Flying Tiger Copenhagen, Londis, SPAR and 30 more brands.
