In short: Yes. Retailers can fully integrate their loyalty program into a Scan & Go app with shopreme. Loyalty points, coupons, and promotions are applied seamlessly, enhancing the customer journey and generating valuable data insights.

How loyalty integration works

shopreme offers different options depending on the retailer’s setup. Whether you choose a standalone app or an SDK (software development kit) integration into your existing retail app, you can integrate your loyalty program with either option.

As a white-label software provider, shopreme allows retailers to maintain full control of their branding and customer experience. Loyalty features can be integrated across all self-checkout touchpoints, like:

• Mobile Scan & Go apps

• Handheld scanners

• Smart Shopping Carts

Note: shopreme integrates with your existing POS and ERP systems, so no replacement is required. Retailers can also integrate Retail Media Network Platforms and Recommendation Engines.

Benefits for Retailers:

• Enhanced, personalized customer experience

• Targeted promotions that increase basket size

• Transparent member savings visible at checkout

• Valuable data collection for detailed customer analysis

• Personalized recommendations to drive upselling and cross-selling

• Higher adoption rates of Scan & Go and other self-checkout solutions.

With integrated loyalty programs, retailers reduce friction, recognize customers, and build stronger relationships and long-term brand loyalty.

In short: yes. With shopreme, customers can continue scanning products without an internet connection. Offline scanning ensures a consistent shopping experience in stores with poor internet coverage, requiring connection only for final payment.

All shopreme solutions, including mobile Scan & Go apps, handheld scanners, and Smart Cart software, support offline scanning by default. This ensures reliability at every stage of the checkout process.

How offline scanning works

• Local data storage: A small product file covering information like price, name, or barcode is downloaded to the device.

• No server needed during shopping: If the internet drops, the app uses the local file instead of requesting data from the server.

• Seamless basket filling: Customers can continue adding items to their basket without interruption.

• Internet only for payment: Connectivity is required only when completing checkout.

Yes, customers can pay directly in the Scan & Go app. Depending on the store's setup, customers can use digital payment methods directly on their smartphones, such as credit and debit cards, mobile wallets, or loyalty points. Digital receipts are received and saved automatically within the app.

How it works

shopreme offers white-label, standalone Scan & Go apps or software development kits that integrate directly into a retailer’s existing app (e.g., a button that leads to Scan & Go). In both cases, payments are processed seamlessly within the app thanks to integrations with leading payment providers.

• In-app checkout (e.g. card payment, Apple/Google Pay, prepaid credit, cashback credit, gift card credit)

• Handover to the SCO or Exit Terminal (vector)

• Handover to the traditional cash desk

shopreme ensures maximum flexibility: retailers choose where and how to pay, while maintaining full brand control.

Customer process

• Add a payment method: Customers can save their preferred card, mobile wallet, or loyalty payment option directly in the app.

• Scan products: Items are scanned with the smartphone and instantly added to the digital basket.

• Choose how to pay:

  • Directly in the app.

  • Generate a QR code to finalize payment at the SCO, exit terminal, or traditional cash desk.

• The digital receipt is stored in the app with loyalty points and promotions applied automatically.

In short: You can integrate the shopreme Scan & Go SDK directly into your existing app to add mobile Self-Checkout. The SDK is fully customizable to match your brand identity and user journey. Download the shopreme SDK directly in the developer portal.

Step-by-step SDK integration process

1. Access the developer portal: Log in and navigate to the Data Hub section.

2. Download the shopreme SDK (available for iOS and Android)

3. Apply your corporate identity (CI): Use customizable and extendable components to match your brand’s logo, styling, and colors.

4. Customize the user journey: Define the Scan & Go entry point in your app (e.g., button, banner, or menu item), choose payment methods, loyalty point display, and payment flows.

In short: Scan & Go apps are mobile Self-Checkout solution for retailers, enabling customers to scan & pay items using their own smartphone. A white-label Scan & Go app is fully branded with the retailer’s corporate identity, including logo, colors, and name. The technology provider remains invisible to the end customer. Scan & Go apps for retail are available as standalone apps, or SDKs (Software Development Kits).

How white-label Scan & Go apps work

White-label Scan & Go apps are built by technology providers but designed to look and feel like the retailer’s own app. They:

• Carry the retailer’s branding and design (logo, colors, app name…).

• Can be integrated into existing retail apps (SDK integration)

• Allow customers to scan products with their own smartphone, pay digitally, and skip traditional checkouts.

shopreme’s approach: two flexible options for IOS or Android

• Standalone app: shopreme develops a new, dedicated Scan & Go application for retailers (e.g., the Billa Scan & Go app).

• SDK integration: Scan & Go gets embedded directly into the retailer’s existing app via a button or banner (e.g., the REWE app).

Why this matters for retailers

With a white-label Scan & Go solution, retailers own the customer relationship, increase loyalty, and differentiate their brand, while benefiting from a proven, scalable Self-Checkout technology.
