7-Eleven Australia is partnering with Grabango, a checkout-free technology provider, to develop My 7-Eleven App Pay and Go 2.0 which is expected to launch in 10 stores by the end of 2024. The Grabango technology uses AI to enable customers the choice to skip the register, without the need to even scan purchases using their device, according to a press release.
“7-Eleven’s current My 7-Eleven App Pay and Go feature lets consumers scan their items, or fill their vehicle at the pump, and complete their transaction on their phone without the need to queue at the register,” Stephen Eyears, 7-Eleven Australia general manager, technology and strategy, said in the release. “The enhancement the team is working with Grabango to develop will make it even more convenient for our customers who choose to pay with the Pay and Go feature as they won’t need to scan merchandise items individually.”
The Australian partnership comes after the brand launched its first cashless and cardless convenience store four years ago and the national rollout of pay and go solutions into all of its stores in the country.
The first 7-Eleven store in Australia was opened in Oakleigh, Victoria in 1977. 7-Eleven Australia is locally owned and operated, with more than 720 stores across Victoria, NSW, ACT, QLD and Western Australia.
