Woolworths starts in-store payment for web shoppers

Cash payment facility goes live

Woolworths has gone live with a bespoke application to allow shoppers to pay cash in its stores for items ordered via its web site.

The application is the last in the retailer’s web terminal initiative, which has seen the company make its entire stock range available to order in its 806 UK shops for home delivery.

Woolworths has now completed the integration of the shop web terminals into its new Kingstore electronic point-of-sale (Epos) till system installed in 2004, allowing customers to pay for goods sourced from the web site at the till.

The system also carries out a real-time stock check, to ensure the purchased products can be delivered in a timely fashion.

The application that links the retailer’s Epos system to its web site and instore web terminals was developed using Dynamo software from supplier ATG.
