How it works
Download IKEA App

Scan your products as you shop
Simply scan the barcodes of items you pick up and pack as you shop.
For larger self-serve items, make a note of the aisle and location, and scan the barcode when you pick it up.
Alternatively, where available, scan the QR-code below the price tag to add it to your shopping list. After payment, the product will be ready to pick up in the customer service area, located after the check-outs.
Pay as you exit
Once you're done shopping, head to the dedicated check-out on your way out to complete your purchase.
To pay, simply scan the unique QR code for your shopping bag with all the items you've scanned along the way.
Don't forget to head to the customer service area after the checkout to pick up any larger items you may have scanned the QR code for.
