The future of biometric payments

Self-checkout has become a staple of the shopping experience, but since it was introduced to the public in 1986, some have wondered whether it’s accomplishing what it set out to do.
Earlier this year, a study found that self-checkout has become the predominant checkout format, with 53% more shoppers using it over a five-year span and a 17% increase from 2020 to 2022, according to VideoMining.

Grocers have embraced the technology—there was a 162% bump in dollars per 100 store visitors sold from self-checkout merchandising in 2022 compared to 2020.
