By GlobalDataCustomers can use the Billa Scan & Go app to pay for their all in-store purchases. A local tax regulations-complaint digital invoice is automatically generated for all transactions.
Wirecard will process all such in-app payments.
Additionally, the app can record payment details to streamline recurring purchases and supports integration of jö Bonus Club.
The move is expected to eliminate check-out queues and encourage cashless payments streamlining in-store purchasing process.
Wirecard vice-president Sales Retail Alexander Hahn said: “At Wirecard, we want to make the payment process as fast, simple and pleasant as possible.
