Cumulus in the Migros app on the Apple Watch

Cumulus in der Migros-App auf der Apple Watch

Dear Migipedia team

It would be great if Migros would integrate the Cumulus code into its existing (or a new/additional app) for the Apple Watch. (Coop has had this for a long time with the Supercard).

Thanks to Apple Pay, you can also use your Apple Watch to pay at Migros; it's simple and secure, and it's annoying that you still have to show a card or the code on your iPhone just because of the Cumulus code.

My interim solution is to load the barcode from the Cumulus card as a photo on the Apple Watch. This works if I scan it myself at Subito, but the staff at the checkout are a bit reluctant. So I'm hoping for an official solution. Is there anything in sight?

Hello@eventus

Thank you for your message. According to the latest information I have received, there are no plans to expand the Apple Watch application at the moment.

We will let you know if we change anything and if there are any further developments.

Best regards
Tanja

Too bad. It would be pretty easy. Here's the makeshift solution I came up with using my Cumulus code from the Migros app as a background photo:

Very annoying: the code from the app is apparently changed from time to time, i.e. a screenshot does not remain valid for long.

Dear Migros, is this really necessary: 1. take out smartphone and unlock, 2. start app, 3. select wallet, 4. scan code? Especially when you want to pay with Subito, you often have your hands full with products you've bought and the hand scanner. Do you have to take out your cell phone and fiddle around with it?

I realize that it was even more complicated with old-fashioned card or even cash payments, it's just annoying that Migros is making something unnecessarily complicated that would work without these hurdles. Coop has been proving this for a long time.

Addendum: A solution for people who like to tinker, but then have a usable solution:

1) Create an EAN code (i.e. the simple barcode) with the Cumulus number. This is free and easy, e.g. here http://ean-suche.org/barcode-generator

2.)Download photo barcodes to the Apple Watch.

Done - or continue tinkering if you wish and create a barcode photo as a watch face so that the code is immediately at hand (especially with watchOS 3, where you can only simply swipe for watch faces...)

I have tried the instructions :

Works fast and free of charge . For all barcode graphics.

Hello @eventus, thank you for your suggestion. There are currently no plans for a variant with the Apple Watch. However, I will be happy to forward your suggestion to the relevant department.

I can't answer whether it is possible to implement it at the moment. Greetings Natalie

Another little tip - if you tap and hold your finger on the QR code, the barcode is displayed as on the card

Try the Stocard app. It is supported by Apple WatchOS.

Thanks, Stocard is generally a good tip. I myself am already well served with my Cumulus barcode image as a watch face - main advantage: It can be called up with a swipe across the display! This is what it looks like:

Still not planned. Personally, I don't think it's a shame that the app doesn't have the Cumulus code integrated. I find it rather embarrassing, unworldly and absolutely incomprehensible. Those who have planned an app for the wrist that cannot display the code have simply not done their job.

The comment from Migros in this article is also embarrassing in my opinion. Something was obviously missed during the planning stage, it was pointed out and no action was taken.....

So, dear Migros: please put a developer on it for a few days and add the code to the app.
Since I'm a Migros owner, could I even order it?
