Change at Lidl and Kaufland: New payment process introduced
Anyone who occasionally shops at Lidl or Kaufland can now look forward to a change in the payment process. This concerns the online shops of the retailers, both of which belong to the “Schwarz Group”. Customers now have the opportunity to pay with a simple Click to Pay to complete your purchase.
But how does it work exactly? As Mastercard writes in a press release, Click to Pay is an online checkout solution that promises fast and convenient payments. Mastercard debit, credit and prepaid cards can be used for this. The service was developed together with the industry association EMVCo as an industry standard.

All you have to do is register your Mastercard with your bank for Click to Pay.

The cards that are registered for Click to Pay also receive a so-called “token” – a kind of identification tag. This is intended to provide additional security when making purchases in online shops. Customers then do not have to enter a 16-digit card number or password to verify their identity. This is no longer necessary.
Even if the card in question becomes invalid, the new data can be updated automatically in the background. This means that the new payment process involves as few clicks and data entries as possible. And With another change in the assortments, Lidl last to start.
