SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Swift Shopper opened San Francisco's first two-day pop-up enabled by its cashierless checkout technology in the Marina neighborhood. Holiday shoppers downloaded the Swift Shopper app, entered the store, scanned and bagged items as they shopped, and paid directly through their mobile phone. The frictionless checkout technology made the total shopping experience easy, quick, and more enjoyable.

"Our app made it simple for our vendors and their shoppers alike," said Swift Shopper CEO Kathryn Lasater. "The sales associates became consultants and the shoppers engaged in 'invisible spending.' Some shoppers spent twice as much as anticipated… As one said, 'the process was too easy!' "
