Kansas City shoppers have a convenient new way to pay for their groceries thanks to Hy-Vee's latest announcement. PayPal and Venmo Accepted Hy-Vee, a popular grocery store chain, revealed on Monday that customers can now use PayPal and Venmo to pay for their online orders through the Aisles Online platform. This new payment option comes as online ordering for pickup and delivery has seen a significant surge in popularity since 2019. Smart Shopping Carts Revolutionize the Grocery Experience Meanwhile, Price Chopper in Parkville and McKeever's Market & Eatery in Lee's Summit are revolutionizing the shopping experience with new smart shopping carts. These innovative carts, provided by Instacart and known as "Caper Carts," utilize artificial intelligence to enhance the shopping process. Customers can conveniently add items to the cart and keep track of their total bill in real-time. Additionally, shoppers can apply coupons and compare prices through the AI-powered carts. Once they have completed their shopping, customers can seamlessly check out without the need to empty their cart or wait in line. Future Expansion of AI-Powered Carts If the initial rollout proves successful, Instacart is planning to introduce more AI-powered shopping carts in other Kansas City-area stores in the near future. This technological advancement aims to streamline the shopping experience and provide customers with a more efficient and convenient way to shop for their groceries.
