As shoppers walk around the store, they will scan the items they wish to buy, pay using an app and then scan a QR code to confirm they have paid. A helpdesk has been installed to support shoppers who want to pay with cash or cards. Sainsbury's said that 82% of transactions at the shop were cashless. "We'll be with our customers and colleagues all the way over the coming months, iterating continuously based on their feedback before we decide if, how and where we make this experience more widely available," Moriarty added.
