Aldi UK changes how shoppers can pay at checkout-free store

However, a new change means customers will be able to access the store by simply scanning their contactless payment card or card on their mobile phone.

The Aldi Shop&Go store is in Greenwich, London and allows customers to shop without scanning products or going to a till.

Special technology and specifically positioned cameras detect what items a shopper picks up.

When done, they can simply walk out of the store and will be charged for what they take with them after leaving.

Customers previously had to register their card on the app to enter the store and make the payment, but this has now been replaced.

Shoppers can check their receipts on the app or website.

Regional managing director at Aldi UK Ben Shotter said: “It has been great to see how positively customers have responded to our Shop&Go trial.

"This latest change will help to make it even quicker and easier for people to use the store.

“We’re always looking for ways to improve our customers’ shopping experience, which is what our Shop&Go store is all about.”

This comes as Aldi changes its range in stores with never-before-seen food items.
