New Service Offers Simple and Secure Way to
Pay with an Android Phone at All Store Locations
GameStop, a family of specialty retail brands that makes the
most popular technologies affordable and simple,
today announced that customers can start using Android Pay to
pay for purchases in its more than 4,200 U.S. video game
stores.
GameStop has completed a nationwide rollout of Android
Pay, which uses the NFC (Near Field Communication) feature on
mobile devices to allow users to transform mobile payments with an
easy and secure way to pay.
GameStop shoppers will find it easier than ever to purchase the
latest games, consoles, accessories, and electronics during a quick
stop to their favorite video game store.
“We are pleased to offer choice and convenience for our
customers when shopping at GameStop,” said Jason Cochran, senior
vice president of U.S. stores at GameStop. “Providing a positive,
memorable customer experience is our top priority. Incorporating
the latest in mobile payment technology, like Android Pay, into our
stores is another way we are offering customers options to help
simplify their purchases.”
With Android Pay, customers can pay with their credit or debit
card, across multiple Android devices, by simply unlocking their
device, placing it near the contactless terminal, and waiting for
their device to beep or vibrate to show payment was made.
Customers will also see a payment confirmation and get
transaction details right on their phone. A new rich virtual
receipt feature makes it easier to track purchases and shows users
not just what they paid, but also where they paid.
GameStop’s Spring Mobile retail brand will begin accepting
Android Pay later this year.
