This is self-scanning
What does self-scanning mean?
Self-scanning in retail means shoppers use a handheld device to scan product barcodes as they shop. Unlike traditional self-checkout, all items are scanned during the shopping trip, eliminating the need to unpack and re-pack at the checkout. Self-scanning is also known as ‘scan-and-go’.
How does self-scanning work?
Self-scanning is easy! As the shopper enter the store, they either grab a dedicated self-scanning device, or use their smartphone, to scan the items during the trip. When the shopping trip has been completed, a designated area allows the shoppers to pay and exit the store - without any queues.
