GRAVIS has entered a partnership with electronic money institution Yapital. The agreement will see the German retailer upgrade its payment processes and integrate Yapital into its system this year.
As a result, payments can be made simply by scanning Yapital’s QR code and clicking a ‘confirm’ button. The new cross-channel payment solution is set to be implemented in 34 GRAVIS stores throughout Germany, as well as in the online shop.
Thus, GRAVIS customers, whether online or in-store, are set to be able to pay for their digital devices using a digital device, contactlessly, by scanning a QR code using the Yapital App. Additionally, for customers shopping at GRAVIS online, there is the possibility to complete a payment by entering their Yapital username and password.
