We are thrilled to announce that Carrefour France is launching PayWish, our softPOS solution, in its stores near the Paris Olympic Games. An exceptional timing to launch this pilot aimed at streamlining the customer experience during this particularly intense period.

Pilot launch during the Games 

Initially, 18 integrated stores and 2 franchised stores will participate in this innovative pilot to optimize the shopping experience during and after the Olympic Games. The lessons learned from this phase will help refine and further improve the solution before a broader deployment. This initiative marks a significant advancement in payment operations optimization and demonstrates Carrefour's commitment to adopting cutting-edge technologies to best serve its customers. Implementing PayWish during a large-scale event like the Olympic Games underscores the strategic importance of this solution for the future of retail.
