Payment Service

When using Self-Scanning Clients on customer devices (BYOD), the shopper can also pay directly in this client application using their favored payment method. The client application contacts the Payment Service, which will initiate communication with an external payment provider (Adyen). In addition, this service handles communication with the correlated Basket backend services.

Together with the Self-Scanning Client, this provides a frictionless shopping experience to customers on-site in a store without involving a POS. The personnel capacities that are freed up can be used to provide customers with more advice and better service. Stationary checkout points are still available since they are integrated into the GK landscape.

In addition to card payments, Payment Service also offers a possibility to pay by loyalty points, based on the customer’s current points balance. Gift card payment is supported as well.
