Comptoir des Cotonniers Offers Fast Shopping Concept

Today, Comptoir des Cotonniers (Paris) launches a “fast shopping” option that allows European customers to purchase tagged items that they see on bus shelters, café tables, Uber cars, magazines, T-shirts or tote bags using their mobile phones, reported Women’s Wear Daily.

Using a combination of technologies that include Bluetooth, QR codes, JavaScript, audio sensors and instant payment authentication, customers can use their iPhones and Android devices to scan and buy the items in just 20 seconds. A one-click payment dispatches the goods, which are delivered within 48 hours.

About 30 products are available for purchase, and the company plans to release a second batch in November for the holiday shopping season.
