Computop equips Boots CEWE photo stations with contactless payments

Computop is providing a contactless payment function for CEWE photo stations situated in many Boots’ stores around the UK and Ireland.

These devices enable customers to transfer photos from smartphones so they can be printed out. 2,200 photo stations will feature the Computop solution.

By the end of the year, Computop expects to have installed contactless payment at 1,000 more stations in different countries, including several hundred units already in use in France.

Computop CEO Stephan Kück says: "By connecting to Computop Paygate, not only e-commerce but PoS business can be internationalised and standardised quickly and easily - with a uniform terminal, centrally managed and administered."

"With the direct payment function at the CEWE photo stations, we have introduced another innovative service that can reduce queues but also shrinkage rates,” comments Holger May, Managing Director Onsite Finishing at CEWE.”

“The efficient processing via the Computop PSP platform enables us to offer this omnichannel application to retail partners throughout Europe. Initial results show a very positive end-customer response to the new payment function.”
