Aussie shoppers can now save time at the Woolworths checkout by using a new way to pay for groceries that few are aware of.
Using the Everyday Rewards app, customers can scan their card and pay in one seamless transaction using a stored card.
To pay simply scan the QR code at the self-serve checkout, scan the items then select ‘Pay Now’ to instantly pay.
The technology will save customers time shuffling through cards while standing at the checkout.

To add your bank card to the Everyday Rewards app, simply tap on the ‘card’ button on the bottom of the screen then the ‘+’ button.
Fill in your details and follow the prompts to swiftly add your card.
Customers can also add gift cards to the app to use in the same way, making it quick and convenient to pay.

By using the app shoppers can also keep track of their Everyday Rewards points, as $10 will be received for every 2000 pointed collected.
The app uses a verification system called 3DS that helps authenticate a card holder with their bank for protection from potential fraud.
It follows after the supermarket giant introduced the new ‘Scan & Go’ service across 49 store locations around Australia.
Sydney finance guru Queenie Tan, 26, tried the new feature that allows customers to scan their items as they shop and avoid lining up in long checkout queues.
In the short clip she demonstrated how it works and dubbed the new technology ‘life-changing’.
‘You need to try this Woolies hack!’ Queenie said in a short clip.
‘Just open the Woolworths app and click on settings [then] Scan & Go.’

In a TikTok video, Queenie can be seen browsing the aisles and shopping for desired goods, explaining how once the item is scanned it can be placed in your bag.
‘You will see how much it will cost and how many items you have,’ Queenie said, adding: ‘I don’t have to be shocked at the counter anymore!’
To scan fruit and vegetables that don’t have a barcode, simply place the item on the scale then scan the barcode that pops up.
‘The scale atomically knows what [food] it is. It’s like magic,’ Queenie joked.
‘When you’re done shopping you can head to the Scan & Go counter and the best part is there’s no line and your food is already in your shopping bags.
‘So all you need to do is pay and leave!’
