Diebold Nixdorf Inc., a provider of connected commerce for the retail and financial industries, has introduced its Vynamic Digital Receipt, a solution to reduce the amount of thermal paper receipts, according to a press release.
Consumers can receive digital receipts via QR code at the point of sale without the need to register or via their retailer’s app so they have it available whenever necessary. Retailers can add accessible promotions and offers to strengthen customer loyalty, while saving costs and reducing environmental impact.
Every retail transaction requires a receipt: Retailers must issue them to be legally compliant, and customers must present them to return an item or make a warranty claim. Based on this traditional approach of using thermal paper, millions of printed receipts are produced, resulting in retailers incurring unnecessary expenses as well as adversely impacting the retailer’s sustainable footprint.
Further, customers often struggle with storing thermal paper receipts as they gradually fade as they are susceptible to heat and UV light.
Diebold Nixdorf has integrated Vynamic Digital Receipt into its POS solution ecosystem of the cloud-native Vynamic Retail Platform.
Retailers have the ability to present a QR code on a customer-facing screen at the point of sale, while customers can subsequently scan this code without the need to be registered.
The digital receipt can then be stored on the customer mobile device without worrying about storing or fading of physical receipts.
Digital receipts can be integrated into existing retailer apps and customers can be invited to join a loyalty program. Each time the customer makes a purchase, they scan the customer card that is displayed via a consumer app or their digital wallet and benefit from loyalty rewards when linked to their loyalty card.
