Lidl to launch self-scanning feature integrated into Lidl Plus app
Lidl is to launch of a new self-scanning feature within its Lidl Plus loyalty app.
Available from September, the feature will be tested in a “friends and family” trial in four of the supermarket’s stores before being rolled out in phases next year.
Customers will be able to scan products as they shop and track their spending and savings in real time before completing their purchase through Lidl Plus at a self-checkout terminal.
Ryan McDonnell, chief executive at Lidl GB, said: “This marks a significant leap forward in our digital evolution. Integrated into Lidl Plus, it’s designed to offer customers a smarter, faster, and more flexible way to shop.

Whether customers prefer the traditional checkout, self-service or self scanning, at Lidl, they are always in control of how they shop.”
The news follows the successful pilot of Lidl GB’s Click, Reserve & Collect service through Lidl Plus earlier this year, as well as the rollout of self-checkouts across Lidl stores.
