Airport stores enjoy intense footfall peaks when large flights arrive and depart. Travellers wanting to purchase a last-minute gift, souvenir, or snack before boarding their flight often face long lines which in turn lead to lost sales and negative customer experiences for retailers. Conventional checkout solutions like cash registers and self-checkout kiosks limit the retailer’s capacity to handle high customer volumes because the customer is required to have their transaction processed at a terminal or register.

When there are fewer terminals available than there are shoppers, lines and waiting times for shoppers are created. MishiPay solves this problem by activating the checkout in the shopper’s pocket; their phone. Our technology transforms the shopper’s device into a payment terminal, which in turn removes any limit on the number of transactions that the store can process at a given moment.

By generating a high volume of transactions, our technology simultaneously enables stores to function more efficiently by enabling the customer to reduce the number of hours that staff are required to spend behind the checkout, processing shopper transactions.
