Retail Self-Service Checkout
Self-Checkout That Runs on the Same Retail Platform
Give customers a self-service checkout option while keeping product, pricing, payment and transaction activity connected to the wider MTPOS retail environment.
Deploy self-checkout using supported dedicated kiosk equipment, PC-based stations or compatible tablet configurations according to the needs of the store.
Choose the Right Checkout Model
One Store Can Support More Than One Way to Check Out
Self-checkout does not have to replace staffed checkout. Retailers can use different checkout models according to transaction type, location, staffing and customer preference.
Assisted Checkout
A store employee manages the transaction through a traditional MTPOS checkout workstation.
Mobile Checkout
Authorized employees can assist customers and perform supported retail workflows away from a fixed checkout counter.
Self-Checkout
Customers scan eligible products, review the transaction and complete checkout using a supported self-service configuration.
Customer Workflow
A Clear Path from Item Scan to Completed Transaction
The self-checkout experience should remain simple for the shopper while the transaction continues to follow the retailer's configured business rules.
Scan or Select
The customer identifies eligible products using the scanning or selection workflow available at the station.
Review the Cart
Product, quantity, price and applicable transaction information are presented before payment.
Complete Payment
The shopper completes payment using the supported payment method and terminal configuration available at the checkout station.
Complete the Sale
The completed transaction becomes part of the same retail activity used for reporting and authorized store operations.
The Actual Checkout Experience
A Self-Service Interface Designed for the Customer
The self-checkout interface focuses on the actions the shopper needs to complete the transaction without exposing the broader management environment behind it.
Flexible Deployment
Use the Self-Checkout Configuration That Fits the Store
A self-checkout station does not have to be one specific hardware format. MTPOS can support different deployment approaches according to the environment and supported device configuration.
A purpose-built self-service checkout station with the required customer-facing hardware.
A supported PC configuration can provide a compact alternative to a dedicated kiosk.
Compatible tablet hardware can support smaller self-service footprints where appropriate.
Supported hardware can be configured for assisted checkout or self-checkout according to the store's operating model.
Connected to MTPOS
Self-Checkout Is a Checkout Mode, Not a Separate Retail System
The customer-facing station operates as part of the wider MTPOS environment rather than creating a separate catalog, inventory or transaction platform.
Products & Catalog
Self-checkout uses product information configured for the retail operation.
Pricing & Discounts
The transaction follows supported pricing, discount and checkout rules available to the store.
Inventory
Completed sales remain part of the same retail inventory activity as transactions from other supported checkout modes.
Reporting
Self-checkout transactions can be reviewed as part of the retailer's authorized operational reporting.
Customer Independence, Store Control
Self-Service Does Not Mean Every Transaction Must Be Unattended
Self-checkout works best when the retailer defines where customer self-service makes operational sense and where employee assistance remains the better checkout model.
Stores can combine staffed registers, mobile workflows and self-checkout so the checkout method matches the transaction, customer and operating environment.
Payments & Peripherals

Everyday Retail
Straightforward basket transactions where products can be easily identified and purchased.
High-Traffic Stores
Add another checkout path when multiple customers may need to complete transactions at the same time.
Compact Locations
Use supported compact hardware where space does not justify a traditional full-sized checkout counter.
Multi-Store Operations
