Checkout-free shopping is undergoing a boom as the physical retail landscape shifts. according to research from RBR.
The number of stores across the world using checkout-free technology increased by three during 2021 to over 250.
In the majority of these cases, autonomous checkout solutions are installed within the physical infrastructure of the store and track customers as they move around.
Other retailers have deployed smart carts for larger basket sizes, which have the technology fitted to the carts themselves, including Amazon’s Dash Cart.
