Well-known department store and retail chain Kohl's has gone ahead and launched its very own payment app in a bid to make it easier than ever for shoppers to be able to conveniently use their smartphones to make payments, while also call upon the same payment app to keep track of their promotions and rewards.
Aptly named Kohl's Pay, this particular payment app requires users to sign up for a Kohl's Charge credit card. Payment is made by scanning a QR code at the checkout counter. In addition to making payments, the app is capable of tracking your special offers, discounts, exchanges, returns as well as regular purchases, and you can even use the app to browse items and purchase gift cards.
Considering that a large percentage of Kohl's customers are known to use the Kohl's Charge card, the introduction of this payment app only makes sense as it ensures that customers don't have to carry a bunch of cards around with them when they go shopping at Kohl's.
