New Worldpay research also indicates bank transfers are set to overtake credit and debit cards as the second most popular global payment method behind e-wallets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Like it or not, we&#8217;re living in the technologically advanced future we once only saw in science fiction movies, and customers expect retailers to keep up with the latest technology trends too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the right technologies and controls in place, consumers will soon be as comfortable with their washing machine purchasing detergent as they are with a gym receiving automatic monthly payments from their bank account.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Indonesia E-commerce operator JD.ID has officially opened its JD.ID X store in PIK Avenue, North Jakarta. Affiliated with China\u2019s JD.com, the e-commerce boasts AI technology to create a distinctive shopping experience. There will be no cashier to receive shoppers\u2019 payments, and according to the company\u2019s website, JD.ID X makes use of face-recognition technology, radio-frequency identification (RFID), as well as cashless payment methods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The 270-square meter store, which sits inside a major shopping mall in Jakarta, is the first cashier-less shop JD has launched outside its homeland where it operates 20 such facilities. It is also the largest one the company has introduced to date. The Jakarta branch lets customers pick up items and check out by themselves. Radio frequency identification \u2013 technology that tracks tags attached to objects \u2013 and face recognition at the exit will match the goods with the buyer, who can then pay with a credit card. The store will install \u201cother cashless payment alternatives\u201d in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In-store cameras also help monitor customer movement, and JD can use this traffic data to optimize inventory and make product recommendations. JD\u2019s ecommerce site launched in Indonesia in 2016 and has served 20 million customers nationwide, the firm says. It\u2019s planning to add more warehouses to its network of nine, which will enable it to deliver 85 percent of its orders on the same or next day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Southeast Asia is becoming an investment hotbed for Chinese tech behemoths. JD led an investment in Thailand\u2019s online fashion brand Pomelo and has reportedly backed Indonesia\u2019s ride-hailer Go-Jek. Alibaba has made similar moves, including a buyout of the regional ecommerce giant Lazada. Several Chinese startups have rushed to open unmanned shops. The industry\u2019s poster child has been Bingobox, which counted 200 stores across 29 cities in the country as of January.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Source:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/www.paymentssource.com\/opinion\/not-all-consumers-are-ready-for-cashless-stores<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ht<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">tp:\/\/www.thejakartapost.com\/life\/2018\/08\/09\/jd-id-introduces-jd-id-x-a-store-with-ai-technology.h<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">tml<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Big retailers like Starbucks and Amazon are testing cashless, and even cashierless, store models to cope with demands for speed and convenience from their customers.
