Integrating a payment terminal into the vector Self-Checkout exit solution creates a secure, convenient, and space-efficient Self-Checkout journey for modern retail environments. This integration combines the physical and psychological endpoint of the Scan & Pay journey with an additional payment option, enhancing convenience for customers and protection for retailers.

Key advantages:

• One clear endpoint for payment and exit validation

• Stronger theft deterrence by paying and validating the purchase before passing the exit gate

• Optimized use of store space by combining two functions in one terminal

  
  

Yes, the shopreme vector Exit Terminal can be implemented without replacing your existing POS system. Additionally, the vector Exit Terminal can be integrated with any third-party gate provider. With a single integration to your POS, you gain access to all shopreme features:

This approach enables retailers to select the Self-Checkout solutions they need for each store setup, scaling quickly while being able to manage everything centrally. The shopreme Management Console offers detailed analytics, remote hardware management, and Retail Media content control, all in one place.

Because shopreme’s software solutions are hardware-agnostic, they can be integrated with third-party solutions, ensuring maximum flexibility for retailers.

Yes. Depending on the store setup, Scan & Pay customers can complete their purchase either directly in the app or at the vector by scanning a QR code to proceed with payment directly at the exit terminal. Once the transaction is complete, a digital receipt is automatically stored in the Scan & Pay app.

Since every shopreme solution is fully integrated into the shopreme ecosystem, retailers can easily combine different Self-Checkout touchpoints and manage them all through the shopreme Management Console. In addition to detailed analytics, the Management Console enables remote hardware management, device monitoring, Retail Media content management, and more across all stores and devices.

The same principle applies to the matrix Self-Checkout Kiosk, allowing Scan & Pay customers to complete their purchase. This option is often used in regions where printed receipts are required.

In short: The shopreme vector exit solution reduces theft in Self-Checkout environments by serving as a physical and psychological endpoint, secure QR code validation, and optional spot checks at checkout. While providing deterrence, it is also an optional payment terminal for Scan & Pay users to ensure a smooth and secure checkout process.

The most successful approaches to loss prevention combine technology, psychology, and human oversight to minimize risk without harming the shopping experience.

How shopreme vector reduces theft

• Psychological deterrent and physical barrier

• Receipt validation via QR code with optional exit gate integration

• Fully integrated with shopreme’s multi-layered loss prevention software flagging suspicious baskets and behavior

• Triggers (optional) risk-based spot checks at checkout

  
  

In short: A Self-Checkout exit system like the shopreme vector is the physical and psychological endpoint of Self-Checkout journeys. It fosters customer trust and clarity, and protects retailers against shrinkage.

A self-checkout exit system is a dedicated in-store solution that secures and optimizes the exit process for customers using Self-Checkout options, such as Scan & Pay, Self-Checkout Kiosks, or smart carts. It provides a physical endpoint to the shopping journey, reducing shrinkage while ensuring a smooth customer experience.

The vector, developed by shopreme and umdasch The Store Makers, is an interactive, modular, customizable exit terminal that integrates seamlessly with any third-party gate provider.

How it works:

• Defines a clear, physical endpoint for Self-Checkout journeys: Customers know where to safely exit the store, and employees can identify Self-Checkout users.

• Optionally integrates with exit gates: Customers validate their purchase by checking out scanning a QR on the receipt.

• Protects against shrink: Creating both psychological and physical barriers, reducing opportunities for theft and loss.

• Optionally supports multiple payment methods: Self-checkout customers can optionally pay and checkout at the vector.
