PURCHASE, N.Y.—Depending on the market and the region, some businesses are starting to reopen after months of quarantine, but it’s hard to know which stores are opening their doors to consumers without calling or searching online.
To make the search process easier, Mastercard has partnered with data analysis company Sixth Sense to launch ShopOpenings.com in the U.S. and Canada, CNBC reported.
This new online search tool allows consumers to confirm which stores and businesses are open and if they accept contactless payments.
Shop Openings includes details on various types of merchants, from restaurants and grocery stores to apparel and dry cleaning/laundry services.
“When you submit a search, you’ll receive businesses that are open based on successful Mastercard-branded transactions within the last 48 hours and up to the previous seven days,” CNBC said.
