Jisp extends its partnership with Payzone

Jisp extends its partnership with Payzone

Jisp has announced it will extend its reach to more Payzone customers with the expansion of its current partnership.

Jisp launched the first phase of its Scan & Save roll out to Payzone retailers in July 2022 giving them opportunity to drive footfall, sales and increase loyalty locally at no additional cost. The first phase saw approximately 200 stores sign up to benefit from the customer loyalty and rewards platform.


Phase two of the roll out will see Scan & Save rolled out to around 4,000 retailers, with the app being automatically added to the Payzone Plus device. A third push later in the summer will target the rest of Payzone’s estate.

The latest phase of the roll out is timed to allow retailers to help customers impacted by the cost-of-living crisis feed their families during the forthcoming school summer holiday, with some great savings planned on key lunch lines.

“We’re delighted to be able to ramp up the roll out of Scan & Save to Payzone retailers with the addition of the Scan & Save app onto all of the AT150 devices for Payzone Plus retailers,” said Jisp account director, Tamara Fisher.

“This will assist them in unlocking the benefits of Scan & Save, such as increased footfall, basket spend and sales, much quicker while providing valuable savings and loyalty rewards to their customers when they need it the most.

Simon Lambert, Payzone commercial director added, “We’re enthusiastic about the latest phase of the Scan & Save roll out to our Payzone retailers and expect to reach 1,000 stores by the end of the financial year. In such a competitive retail landscape, impacted as it is by the cost-of-living crisis, it is important we get our retailers offering a first-rate convenience experience.

“Through Scan & Save from Jisp we’re giving them access to a best-in-class platform providing discounts and loyalty rewards for shoppers, while stores increase earnings at no extra cost to them.”

Via the Payzone Plus device, thousands of retailers will have access to Jisp’s integrated home delivery, click and collect, Scan & Save and store loyalty scheme, as well as access to brand rewards and content.

Spring Statement fails to address independent retailers' concern

Costs are set to continue rising amid a difficult economic outlook following the Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ Spring Statement, which brought no significant change to major tax plans announced in the October budget despite urgent calls for support.
