British retailer Marks & Spencer (M&S) has introduced new scan and pay service ‘Mobile, Pay, Go’ in six London stores.

M&S will expand the service to West Hampstead, Bankside, Canary Wharf and Stratford Westfield stores in the coming weeks.
Mobile, Pay, Go allows customers to pay for items through the M&S app by scanning products as they go and allows checkout with Apple Pay or any saved card on M&S.com account. Customers can also use the app to purchase lunch including a sandwich, crisps and a drink.
Marks & Spencer retail, operations and property director Sacha Berendji said: “Digitally enabled stores that offer a seamless customer experience are a crucial part of our transformation and our ambition to be a Digital First retailer.
“Our customers, especially those who come to us for lunch, are so busy, any tech that can speed up the shopping experience is a massive benefit to them.

The service is developed as part of an initial collaboration with The App Business and is being managed and developed by M&S’s in-house digital experts.
In addition, the company will collect feedback on the service from customers and adapt service accordingly before launching it to more stores early next year.
