That's so cursed. I suppose since the source of the money here is the manufacturer, this only happens in major retailers with large shops?

Do you know if smaller shops in india/asia also make use of this?



I have no first hand experience outside of North America so I won’t speculate. There is a cost of entry so you need to be moving enough volume in a market already working on razor thin margins. I’d expect that this means it’s only for the regional/national players here.


Ah ok so just to confirm the providers charge the store per user entry? That gives me a good idea of who would go for it. Thanks


Sorry, "cost of entry" meaning that the software and the supporting hardware platforms makes it cost prohibitive for a small org that isn't moving a lot of volume from their shelves. Grocer margins are razor thin already.
