%X A Case Study methodology is used to examine
digiPROOF, a digital payment system (based on
fingerprint technology) introduced by the German
supermarket chain EDEKA. A framework of success
factors which may influence the acceptance and success
of new digital payment systems is used to evaluate
whether the introduction of digiPROOF meets these
success factors. Users are asked to identify advantages
and disadvantages they see compared to other payment
systems. The research showed that in the future, a
fingerprint based payment system has the potential to be
successful in the market, with new clients mainly being
drawn from existing digital payment users rather than cash payers.
