Rather than adopt Apple Pay or some other NFC-based payment service, CVS just launched a mobile payment solution of its own. “It’s aptly called CVS Pay, and it shows a barcode on the phone screen that the pharmacy can then scan to ring up your purchases, so long as you link a credit or a debit card to it,” Engadget reports.
“You can also present the barcode to pick up prescriptions that you can refill and manage in-app.”
