JD has launched a new type of Mini Shop known as JD Convenience Store in Xi’an, Shaanxi province.
The new mini shop provides a self-service shopping experience for professionals working close by to purchase ready-to-eat food and beverages, snacks and stationery and proceed with automated checkout, which supports facial recognition payment using JD’s technology.
The size of the mini shop is about 15sq m and has been designed to be fully customisable, making them adaptable to different shopping scenarios including airports, train stations and hotels.
JD has also provided the mini shop with JD Convenience Store Go, a WeChat mini programme which allows customers to order products online to be delivered by the shop directly to the office.
