Self-Checkout

Self-checkout is a technology that allows customers to purchase items without needing a cashier. Customers scan each item’s barcode, pay using a card or mobile app, and then complete the transaction themselves. This process speeds up shopping, reduces congestion, and provides convenience. Self-checkout systems often include touchscreens, barcode scanners, and payment terminals. While it requires some familiarity with technology, staff are usually available to assist if needed. Overall, self-checkout enhances efficiency for both customers and stores by enabling quick, independent purchasing.
