South African mobile payments company SnapScan has rolled out Beacon based in-store mobile payments at select merchants.

The SnapBeacons system pops up a “pay here” button on the customer’s phone as they come within range of a store’s beacon enabling SnapScan customers to simply tap a button in the app to initiate the transaction via Bluetooth.

The cities where the rollout for the 50 merchants has taken place include Cape Town and Johannesburg.
