Paradies Lagardère expands MishiPay tech to 20 additional airports

Paradies Lagardère, a retailer and restaurateur in North America, has expanded its deployment of MishiPay’s Scan, Pay & Go mobile self-checkout technology to 20 additional airports across the US and Canada.

During a pilot in the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and the Charlotte Douglas International Airport, Paradies Lagardère says that, by enabling shoppers to scan and pay for their desired products using their own devices, store associates were able to repurpose a portion of their shift from manning a cash register to other tasks such as restocking, sanitising high traffic sections, and assisting customers. 

Additionally, the Scan, Pay & Go programme provides another payment option for customers, complementing existing choices such as self-checkout stations and Fast Pay apps, and has also generated a higher items-per-transaction ratio when compared to transactions performed through standard registers. 

“We have been delighted with the results that the Scan, Pay and Go programme has delivered in our stores, both in terms of reducing friction for our customers and enabling our store associates to operate with optimal efficiency,” says Gregg Paradies, President and CEO at Paradies Lagardère.

“As we expand the deployment into phase two and beyond, we are excited to bring the benefits of the technology to even more of our airport partners and customers across North America.”

MishiPay Founder and CEO Mustafa Khanwala, says: “Our results demonstrate the power of our technology to remove the archaic bottleneck of checkout friction.”

“As air travel continues to bounce back following the pandemic, we are excited to expand our deployment with Paradies Lagardère and to remove the frustration of waiting in line for even more shoppers.”
