Kohl’s Corp. Launched its own mobile payments platform called Kohl’s Pay. The payments system is available for both Android and iOS users.

Kohl’s Corp. has joined the ranks of Walmart, Apple Pay, Starbucks and Samsung pay and other companies to offer its own mobile payments app

Unlike retail mobile payment platforms from Walmart and CVS, Kohl's Pay doesn't allow customers to add their credit and debit cards to the app for use in stores. Instead, you'll have to sign up for one of the company's own Kohl's Charge cards.

The payments system is available inside the store's existing mobile apps for Android and iOS. The Kohl's app also doesn't support NFC or tap-to-pay like Apple Pay, Android Pay and Samsung Pay. Instead, it displays a QR code that's scanned by the cashier at checkout. That code is used to not only handle payment, but to apply any savings a customer has stored in the app, too.

The app has14 million downloads. It allows shoppers save Kohl’s gift cards in their mobile wallet, browse products, scan items in store, receive sale alerts, check out in the store then get the item shipped for free and more.

 

Kohl’s only mentions adding the Kohl’s Charge card, but not other debit/credit cards. It’s not clear at this point whether only the Kohl’s Charge card is accepted, but if that is the case, it’ll be a pretty big limitation compared to most other mobile payment systems.
