Carrefour brings self-checkout service to Bahrain

Manama, Bahrain: Carrefour, owned and operated by Majid Al Futtaim in the Kingdom of Bahrain, and in collaboration with CrediMax, has launched the Self-Checkout service — a first-of-its-kind service in the Kingdom at Carrefour City Centre and Bahrain Mall Hypermarkets. The innovative feature provides customers full autonomy and ease of shopping, enabling them to scan and bag purchases as they journey around Carrefour stores using a hand-held device, easily accessed through a bank card, or a smartphone.

Self-Checkout underlines Carrefour’s ongoing commitment to creating seamless shopping experiences for all its customers. The new service will allow them to skip the inconvenience of long queues. Moreover, it enables a truly contactless shopping journey as customers only need a bank card or smartphone, and are also encouraged to utilise their own bags to carry around as they shop.

Using the scanning device, customers can scan the barcode of each product they would like to purchase at the dedicated Self-Checkout area to process their payment — via a debit/credit card or MyCLUB points — within minutes.

Laurent Hausknecht, Regional Director of Gulf, at Majid Al Futtaim Retail said: “At Carrefour, we take great pride in offering the most convenient and integrated shopping experiences possible. We understand
