Huge change rolled out in every Woolies across the country
Woolies have rolled out a groundbreaking new QR code payment system that will make the process of grocery shopping more efficient.
From today, shoppers in Woolworths and Big W stores around the country will be able to pay for their groceries using a QR code that is linked to a digital wallet on their smartphone.
Dubbed "Everyday Pay", the technology has been built by Woolworth's payment arm and is one of the first of its kind in Australia.
The way it works is simple: customers download the Everyday Rewards app and then put in the details of their preferred credit, debit or gift card.
When the time comes to checkout, all customers have to do is scan the QR code presented by the terminal, upon which the app will automatically deduct the transaction from the nominated account.
Woolworths says the new system will make shopping faster because customers will no longer have to scan their Everyday Rewards card prior to paying normally, as everything is linked.
"We know speed, ease and contactless payment at the checkout is important to our customers as they lead increasingly busy lives," Everyday managing director Hannah Ross said.
"By integrating the ease of QR code payments, with our Everyday Rewards app, we can save customers time at the checkout and help ensure they never miss a rewards point again."
The Everyday Rewards app is used by one million Australians every week and rewards regular users by offering point offers, shopping specials and fuel discounts.
