BECKLEY, W.Va. (WVVA) Beginning Monday, April 27, Kroger Mid-Atlantic now has a new contactless pay option for customers, Kroger Pay.



Linked to a customer’s loyalty information, Kroger Pay eliminates the need for customers to use their credit or debit card and instead uses a QR code on the customer’s mobile device that can be scanned for payment – through the plexliglass shield at checkout or at self-checkout registers.



Kroger customers interested in using Kroger Pay should make sure they have the most recent version of the Kroger app downloaded and then look in the More Menu to see Kroger Pay as an option.



According to a spokesoperson for the Mid-Atlantic region, Kroger Pay has provided jobs 3,800 across the Mid-Atlantic since March 22.



The grocery chain also announced Tuesday it is requiring associates to wear masks, which are being provided to them.
