Seven Eleven's contactless secondhand transaction service 'Seven Pickup,' launched in partnership with Junggonara, is gaining great popularity.

According to Seven Eleven on the 8th, the cumulative number of product listings on Seven Pickup exceeded 8,000 in just about a month, and the total number of transactions surpassed 2,000. They plan to expand the Seven Pickup service to all stores, totaling around 12,000, within this year.

The main users were in their 40s, accounting for 40%, followed by those in their 30s (30%) and 20s (15%). It is analyzed that many office workers, who face significant time and spatial constraints in secondhand transactions, found it convenient to drop off or pick up items at convenience stores near their workplaces. By gender, women accounted for 70%, and men 30%, showing a significantly higher usage rate among women.

Seven Eleven is conducting a customer appreciation promotion until the 19th. When using Seven Pickup through the Junggonara application (app), users can receive up to 1,000 KRW via Naver Pay. An event to find nearby Seven Eleven stores offering Seven Pickup will also be held within this month.

The Seven Pickup service allows secondhand sellers and buyers to conduct transactions without meeting in person by using Seven Eleven stores. Sellers register products for convenience store pickup, complete the transaction through Junggonara Pay, then scan the generated deposit exchange voucher at the convenience store and leave the item. Later, buyers present their pickup exchange voucher at the store to receive the product.

A Seven Eleven representative said, “As we actively expand the Seven Pickup service nationwide, the number of users is steadily increasing. Since it is receiving positive responses from consumers for its contactless nature, safety, and convenience, we will continue to enhance the service to become a more stable and convenient method, establishing it as a representative transaction method in the secondhand market.”
