Not just an app, a Marks & Spencer's app
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Marks & Spencer customers will soon be able to pay for their shopping with their phones, as the retailer next month trials a mobile payment app in stores.
Menus will be introduced in select M&S coffee shops next month compatible with new app Paddle, which allows users to pay by scanning a code with the phone's camera. Customers will be able to choose and buy items from their table.
The trial is the product of M&S's Digital Lab, a division started in February to explore how the company can use new technologies. If the trial is successful, Paddle could be rolled out nationally. Kyle McGinn, head of the Digital Lab, said: "We like customers thinking Marks & Spencer are pushing innovation."
