Not quite as elegant as Amazon Go's app-less, cashier-less checkout, but a clever addition.

Walmart's Scan & Go app allows customers to scan and bag items, including produce, while they shop and pay directly with their phones. There’s no waiting in line at the register. Scan & Go is currently being tested in a few select markets, including Dallas-Fort Worth, Orlando and Northwest Arkansas, and is expanding to stores in 33 states across the U.S. When customers launch the app, it automatically lists participating stores nearby. The app is available on both Android and iOS devices and, just like shopping with Walmart Pay, it securely stores credit or debit card information for fast and easy checkout. Once customers are done shopping and have paid for their items, they simply walk through the Mobile Express lane on their way out.

How do apps like this prevent people from stealing?

@palavalli When I used Apple's in store app to scan and buy without interacting with one of their employees, my first thought walking out was "Are they going to tackle me thinking I'm stealing this? How do they know I paid for it?" So I went up the guy at the door who didn't seem to give me a 2nd look and said to him "I just bought this with the app, do I just leave?" and he said Yep! and offered me a bag. Felt very weird. Not sure how they determine who's paid with the app, and who's just walking out the door, but would love to know how.

@palavalli You have to show the receipt to someone at the exit.

@faisal_hassanx Does someone verify each item? Wouldn't that slow down the whole process? That's not all too much better than just going through a regular checkout line.

@palavalli Costco also checks customers and their receipts at the exit. Takes about 5-15 seconds.

This was a smart move for Walmart. They’re the worst for looooooong checkout lines.

@jeffpcpg same experience here, their scanner can even be lost or not nearby. I almost wave it above my head when approaching so they start looking for the scanner. Still makes the experience WAY better as you get what you need and done. No more sales pitches on upgrading membership etc.

I leave near one of the test stores. Going to give this a try.

THIS is what Amazon should implement. Many of us already have their app on our phones. Why overcomplicate with Amazon Go. If I want to buy something at Wholefoods, I should just be able to scan it in my Amazon app and pay with the payment methods already on file.
