24-hour cashierless store: the fastest way to open, sell, and scale
24-hour cashierless store: with Scan and Buy, your customers enter with a QR code, scan with the app, pay on their mobile phones, and leave without lines. The platform adds AI for inventory, security, and real-time analytics.
How to open a 24-hour cashierless store (step by step)
A cashierless store is a format of total self-service: the customer does everything from their phone, and you control the operation from a single panel.
Immediate benefits:
Continuous sales (24/7), including nights and holidays.
Zero queues and a seamless experience.
Lower operating costs and better staff reallocation.
Actionable data for assortment, promotions, and restocking.
Security with identified access and camera analytics.
How it works (step by step)
1) Access with QR Code
The customer registers in the app and opens the door with a QR code. The system saves the time, user, and store.
2) Scanning in the App
Inside, scan the product’s barcode. The app shows the price, unit, and cart in real time.
3) Mobile Payment
When finished, pay in the app with a card, wallet, or other compatible methods. Receive the ticket on your mobile/email.
4) Checkout-free Exit
With the payment confirmed, leave. There are no queues, checkouts, or waits.
5) Operational AI for your Business
Meanwhile, the Scan and Buy panel:
Updates inventory in real time.
Launches restocking alerts.
Monitors security with camera analytics.
Generates sales and behavior reports.
