Overview

  • The self-scanning feature integrates directly into the Lidl Plus app, allowing customers to scan items, track spending in real time and complete checkout at self-service terminals.
  • A friends and family trial begins in September at four UK stores, marking the first live test of the functionality.
  • Lidl plans a phased rollout across its store network in 2026 following feedback from initial trials.
  • The launch builds on Lidl’s earlier Click, Reserve & Collect pilot and recent tests of AI-powered cameras aimed at reducing unscanned items.
  • CEO Ryan McDonnell described the addition as a significant leap in Lidl’s digital evolution that gives shoppers more control over their in-store experience.
