Reviews

  1. WoW love this app

    connected to in store wifi easily and quickly. How amazing and quick is the scanning of the barcodes. And easy checkout. Gonna use it in every visit from now on 👍 - An Android user

  2. In, shop and out

    Have used this for a few weeks and v impressed. Works well, perfect, if like me you don't want to hang around in a queue. Loads better than the scanner guns available at other supermarkets. - An iOS user

  3. Great app

    Fantastic app, makes life easier and is very quick to go around the store and scan as you shop, also saves you having to "sign out" of the in store scanners. - An iOS user

  4. Fantastic app

    Used this twice now. Works perfectly. Knows what store I'm in and saves me having to carry a scanner around. It's a must if you shop at Sainsbury's. - An iOS user

FAQs

Does SmartShop work on all smartphones?
The SmartShop app works with Apple iPhones (iOS 8.0 or later) and most Android phones (Jellybean or later).
Some of our SmartShop stores also have extra handsets at the front of store which you can use if your own phone isn't compatible or if your battery is running low.
Once I've registered for SmartShop, can I use it at any Sainsbury's store?
SmartShop is currently available in selected stores around the country.
How do I check out and pay for my shopping?
Whether you are using a SmartShop handset or the SmartShop app on your mobile phone, you can pay at a dedicated card-only SmartShop checkout or at a self-checkout that is SmartShop enabled (varies between stores).
If you are smart shopping in a convenience store using the SmartShop app on an iPhone, you may be able to pay with Apple Pay and avoid the checkouts completely (available in selected stores, see store signs).
Do I need to have my Nectar card with me to use SmartShop?
Yes, to use SmartShop in-store you must bring your Nectar card with you.
Can I collect and redeem Nectar points and use my coupons with SmartShop?
Yes, you can collect and redeem Nectar points as normal when paying at a checkout and can use your coupons too.
Is there anything I can't buy with SmartShop?
Currently we can't sell any of the following with SmartShop: tobacco products, Lotto or Health Lottery tickets, gift cards, postage stamps, mobile phone top-ups or any PayPoint products.
What is a rescan?
Sometimes customers can double scan an item by mistake, or an item might end up in your trolley that hasn't been scanned properly. So from time to time we might ask you to have your shopping re-scanned by one of our colleagues.
These rescans are random and they'll only happen at checkout.
