Google Launches Hands Free Payment Method

Here is a short video regarding this App.

Google writes on its commerce blog:

“Imagine if you could rush through a drive-thru without reaching for your wallet, or pick up a hot dog at the ballpark without fumbling to pass coins or your credit card to the cashier. This prompted us to build a pilot app called Hands Free that we’re now in the early stages of testing. It lets you pay in stores quickly, easily, and completely hands-free.”

How it Works:

  • First, users must download a corresponding iOS or Android app
  • Enter in their initials,
  • Choose a payment method (both debit and credit are supported)
  • Upload a photo of themselves.
  • The app relies upon Bluetooth LE and WiFi to gauge when a particular customer is near a checkout kiosk.
  • When a customer approaches the checkout counter, the app sends over the individual’s photo and initials to the point of sale system.
  • If said customer indicates that they’d like to pay with Google, the cashier simply asks for the customer’s initials and verifies that the photos match up.
  • In some stores, according to Google, users won’t even need to provide their initials
