EuroShop puts the store on the podium

Payment becomes frictionless

The halls dedicated to retail technology, hardware, PoS terminals and tills equipped with RFID readers also housed many innovative solutions for mobile and frictionless payments.

Increasing numbers of people are opting to pay with mobile devices, with around a quarter of point-of-sale payments expected to be mobile within five years, according to a “Mobile in Retail 2019” study by GS1 Germany.

At EuroShop, many of the major payment providers, like Adyen, as well as bank-owned providers, were all well-represented and showing off their latest innovations for the next generation of NFC-enabled terminals and solutions to accept mobile payments made on smartphones.

All ready for a seamless shopping experience

At the Cegid stand, visitors were able to see a number of omnichannel services – including click-and-collect, endless aisle and ship-from-store – for a unified shopping experience and various new tools and mobile devices for arming sales staff.

The challenges around security, the fight against theft and ease of disabling anti-theft devices at the checkout were among some of the many questions posed by companies.

EuroShop was the ideal venue to provide answers by highlighting the many suppliers of RFID-based solutions and connected, digital smart labels – that not only display the price and any special offers, but provide automated security options as well.

So, it’s all you need to build the store of tomorrow and offer your customers a seamless shopping experience.

The next EuroShop trade event will be held in Dusseldorf, Germany, from the 26th of February to the 2nd of March 2023.
