Chinese online retail giant JD.com has opened two new innovative stores at Beijing Capital International Airport and Hohhot East Railway Station in Inner Mongolia.
At Hohhot East Railway Station, JD has teamed up with China Railway Express to open a 100 square metre unmanned convenience store which uses facial recognition payment and smart vending machines that automatically process payments once customers select their products and close the door of the machines. Later on, the store will use a mini programme in WeChat to enable shoppers to either buy products there and then and take them away with them or to shop online and have their items delivered to a convenient location.
