Overview

Sainsbury's is offering a new way to shop with their SmartShop app, allowing customers to scan, bag, and go without having to wait in queues. To get started, customers need to download the app and register, using their Nectar card. They can then save digital Nectar offers and earn Nectar points while shopping. With the app, customers can scan items as they walk around the store and pack them as they go. Payment can be made quickly at one of the SmartShop checkouts or with Google Pay. SmartShop is currently available at over Sainsbury's stores in the UK, with more being added regularly. The media has praised the ease and accessibility of the till-free shopping experience offered by SmartShop. The Independent was genuinely impressed, while Gizmodo UK found the process incredibly easy and something they would happily do again. The Telegraph also noted that the future of shopping works remarkably well with SmartShop. Customers who encounter any issues with the app can visit the Sainsbury's website or call their customer service line for assistance. It's important to note that to view digital Nectar offers in SmartShop, customers need to be a Digital Nectar customer and have opted in to the offers on the Nectar app. Additionally, SmartShop checkouts are not available in Sainsbury's mobile pay stores, as these stores only accept Google Pay in-app payments. Lastly, SmartShop requires location permissions to accurately match customers to their store during a shopping trip.
