C-store chain Ricker's partners with Skip for mobile checkout
Dive Brief:
-
Ricker's, an Indiana-based oil company that also operates 58 convenience stores in the same state, is working with Skip, a provider of a mobile checkout app, to develop what the companies describe as
a "hybrid" of mobile payment and Amazon Go-like shopper experience in Ricker's locations, according to a press release.
-
Skip said in the press release that its technology reduces the length of in-store checkout from an average of 60 seconds to an instant, customer-controlled pay-and-go action controlled by the customer. The company also claims the system lowers transaction fees for its retailer partners through a partnership with payments processor Zipline.
-
The companies are working on optimizing the mobile checkout experience, including integrations with Zipline and Ricker's Kickback Rewards loyalty program, and are planning to make it available across all Ricker's locations by the end of next month.
