2.6.    When you shop with our ALDI SHOP&GO App in an ALDI SHOP&GO Store you will create a “basket” of products which you can add and remove products from. You might hold those products  in  an  actual  basket,  a  trolley,  or  in  some  other  way,  these  Terms  always  refer  to  it  as a “basket” for ease of reference. If you enter as part of a group your group will have a shared basket (see “Groups” below for more information). 2.7.    Our ALDI SHOP&GO App will take you through a series of tutorial screens which will demonstrate how you can, for example:

  • 2.7.1.  Add  products to  your  basket  on  the  ALDI  SHOP&GO  App  via  our  in-store  cameras;
  • 2.7.2.  Remove products from your basket on the ALDI SHOP&GO App via our in-store cameras;  and

You will then be charged for the products in your basket (see “Payment” below for more details on how we will take payment).

3. SHOPPING WITH YOUR PAYMENT CARD

3.1.  You can enter and shop in an ALDI SHOP&GO Store without downloading and installing the ALDI SHOP&GO App, by instead using your Payment Card.  

3.2.  To do so, you must tap your Payment Card on a Pin Entry Device (“PED”) as you enter the ALDI SHOP&GO Store.

3.3.  By tapping in you will be pre-authorising a small amount of money on your Payment Card. This is not necessarily the final price you will pay, which may be higher or lower than this amount. (See the “Payment” section below for more details regarding the pre-authorisation).

3.4.  Upon acceptance of the pre-authorisation, you will be able to enter the ALDI SHOP&GO Store.

3.5.    You can now shop as you normally do in any other ALDI store. Holding items in a basket, a trolley or in some other way.

3.6.  Our in-store cameras will keep track of the products that you select and return to the shelf. We refer to the items you have selected collectively as your “basket”, regardless of how you choose to hold the products.

3.7.  Once you have got all the products you want, you can simply leave the ALDI SHOP&GO Store, you will then be charged for the products you selected. (See “Payment” below for more details on how we will process the payment).

If the price of the products in your “basket” is more than the pre-authorised value, you will be charged for the price of the goods in your “basket”. For example, if the price of your ALDI SHOP&GO “basket” is £15, and we have pre-authorised £10, we will charge you £15 to your Payment Card.
