Scan and Go - iPhone Checkout is here!
Last edited Wed Mar 20, 2013, 07:53 PM - Edit history (1)
Reuters reports that Walmart is expanding its iPhone-based Scan & Go self-checkout system to over 200 of its stores, up from 70 currently. The company began pilot testing on the project, which allows users to scan items into an iPhone app as they shop and then easily pay for their items at a checkout station as they leave the store, last August.
The Scan & Go program is currently in place at a number of Walmart stores in Georgia and Arkansas, with individual stores in Vancouver, Washington and San Jose, California also participating. The current expansion will bring the program to a number of new areas in the central and western part of the United States.

I also love the app where you can scan an item in the store and see if someone else has it at a better price.
There are many available, though.
