[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] With the availability of easy payment through SSGPAY on the Emart app, in-store shopping is expected to become more convenient.

According to the industry on the 20th, Emart is launching the Emart Pay service on the Emart application (app) and will conduct a three-week pre-promotion from the 21st of this month to the 11th of next month to ensure smooth service usage ahead of the official opening in May.

Emart Pay is a one-stop integrated service that allows payment, benefits, and point accumulation all at once with a single Emart app barcode at Emart and Traders stores, provided through SSGPAY, Shinsegae Group’s easy payment service.

With just one scan of the Emart Pay barcode, customers can apply all benefits including ▲payment ▲use of owned points such as e-money, Shinsegae Points, and SSG MONEY ▲coupon application and stamp issuance ▲accumulation of Shinsegae Points and airline mileage ▲participation in events.

Previously, customers had to scan the Emart app point card barcode to apply discount coupons, then proceed with payment using a physical card or the SSGPAY app, and separately request point usage from staff, making the process complicated.

However, through Emart Pay, all processes such as coupon and point usage and payment can be replaced with just one barcode scan, and customers can freely adjust the use of various discount coupons and points with a single finger on the same screen.

This is expected to minimize payment waiting times and complexity in offline shopping, thereby increasing customer satisfaction.

The official opening date of Emart Pay is the 12th of next month, and from that day, the service will be available at Emart and Traders nationwide.

During the three-week pre-promotion period before the official opening, customers who sign up for an SSGPAY account and register a payment method on the related event page within the Emart app will receive Emart Pay exclusive payment discount coupons such as a 5,000 KRW discount coupon for Emart (for purchases over 70,000 KRW) and a 10,000 KRW discount coupon for Traders (for purchases over 100,000 KRW using a partnered Samsung Card).

Jin Yohan, head of Emart D/T Headquarters, said, “With the combination of benefit usage and payment functions through Emart Pay, customer satisfaction is increasing and the Emart app is expected to grow into a more powerful app,” adding, “Emart will strive to introduce various convenient services suitable for the digital transformation era.”
