- Shoppers may feel insecurity with their payments
- Shoppers feel hesitant to be in contact with cash in these covid times
- Shoppers hesitate to wait in the Queue for the payment, after their shopping
- They might prepare with some pay mode but you might not have that one
- They feel awkward with some sensitive products to have on shopper basket and to be noticed by others while billing
- Spending more time to complete the whole shopping for the day. It will be a major problem for those who shop often.
- Even though they are empowered with their personal and professional side, they do not feel empowered with the shopping experience.
These are all the common issues faced by shoppers in retail shopping or offline shopping, so they are only preparing for online shopping. Over there they get all these pain points resolved. So now how are we going to handle these?
Offline retail also has a feature called Self-checkout which is enabled the same as online shopping. Instead of sitting in front of a system or mobile, they visit the store and everything remains the same as online shopping.
Simple, they visit the shop and they pick the product and they scan the product by the scan and go application and keep it in shopper basket and once after the shopping they verify their purchase and pay for that from their mobile itself.
