The end of the year is drawing closer, which means it's time to start prepping for the Christmas shopping rush. Is that a groan we hear? Don't worry – this year's shopping is guaranteed to be a breeze with the help of the VodaPay app. Vodacom, in partnership with MasterPass, has introduced the VodaPay app to make your shopping more convenient. Here’s how to use it as well as a few tech gift ideas from retailers that will let you put the app to the test.
How to use VodaPay
You can download the VodaPay app from the Google Play Store or App Store. When you open the app, you will need to verify your phone number. VodaPay will send you a one-time verification PIN that you will need to enter into the app. Once this is done, you can add your debit or credit card to the app by entering the details or simply scanning the card. With your card saved, you can pay for purchases by scanning a QR code from retailers.
Where to use VodaPay
You can pay for your purchases in-store or online with retailers that provide a QR-code payment option. These include any retailers that accept Zapper, SnapScan and MasterPass as a payment method. You can also pay for certain items such as airtime and utility bills directly through the VodaPay app.
