Shift4 implements VenueNext solution with Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology to eliminate checkout lines and enable fans to get back to the game quicker
Shift4, the leader in integrated payments and commerce technology, announced it has implemented its VenueNext solution with Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology for a seamless shopping experience for fans. Starting today, customers can use this solution at the United Center in Chicago, which is expanding from three stores powered by Just Walk Out technology to seven, enabled by Shift4’s VenueNext solution.
Shopping at a location powered by Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology is designed to be an effortless experience. When entering the store, customers simply scan the venue’s mobile wallet, powered by Shift4’s VenueNext solution. The Just Walk Out technology detects what shoppers take from or return to the shelves and creates a virtual shopping session. When guests complete their shopping, they leave the store without waiting in line, and their VenueNext-powered mobile wallet will be charged for items they take.
