When checkout-free technology first emerged in the market, it wowed retailers and shoppers alike. Entering a store, taking anything you want, and leaving without standing in line or stopping at a kiosk just feels like magic. The experience still feels magical, actually. Checkout-free technology has been a game-changer for retailers, delivering faster speed of service, reduced labor needs, and a seamless shopping experience.
As this technology transitions from a novelty to a necessity, it’s clear checkout-free is just the beginning of a transformational journey for retailers—not the destination. Operators are looking for more than just speed—they need a checkout-free solution that can evolve with them as their operational and customer demands change.
That’s where Zippin stands above the rest. Yes, we are leaders in delivering the fast, frictionless service that fans love and operators depend on. More importantly, Zippin’s platform is flexible and adaptable, built to grow with you. Our mission is not just about eliminating checkout lines; it’s about delivering a technology foundation for long-term success.
Today, checkout-free technology is no longer a novelty—it’s a proven, trusted solution. Venues around the world have embraced it, and its reliability is unquestioned even under the extreme pressure. Zippin has been at the forefront of this movement, consistently embraced to support major sporting events like the Super Bowl and US and French Opens. Colleges, hospitals, and international airports also rely on Zippin for autonomous stores that never close but instead operate 24/7.
Zippin’s vision is to be the operating system for the automated store. We recognize the speed of change in retail is accelerating. An inflexible, one-size-fits-all platform may deliver short-term benefits today but is inadequate to help retailers move into the future. It’s one reason Zippin supports over 25 different integrations with third-party systems, a list that’s growing daily.
Zippin’s API framework makes it easy to extend platform capabilities with additional functionality and experiences. Whether it’s adding checkout-free self-serve drinks, running targeted promotions or interfacing with existing store systems or reporting tools, Zippin’s platform is designed to adapt. More restrictive platforms make these things either expensive or impossible.
Zippin goes beyond delivering checkout-free experiences. It gives operators tools to optimized store operations in way that truly make a difference. Zippin’s Crew App comes with planogram compliance and inventory tools, ensuring stores stay organized and well stocked. Alerts and notifications trigger staff activity, such as restocking or resetting a planogram. This user-friendly mobile app works with any mobile device and its intuitive design means very little training (if any) is required. With Zippin, your team can focus on delivering great experiences, not managing complex systems.
Zippin’s Retailer Dashboard offers a comprehensive suite of capabilities for easily setting up, updating, or resetting stores with a robust SKU catalog, planogram management, and flexible pricing and promotions. It also includes predefined reports, key performance indicators (KPIs), and actionable insights like top sellers, top categories, average basket sizes, conversion rates, and more for a clear view of store performance. API integrations make it possible to load data directly into your preferred business intelligence (BI) tools, unlocking deeper analysis and smarter decision-making.
When it comes to sports and entertainment, a lot of work goes into creating experiences that keep fans coming back. Premium services, loyalty discounts, access to exclusive merchandise are just a few of the many ways venues work to convert visitors into season ticket holders. Why not offer some of these personalized experiences checkout-free? With Zippin, you can.
Did you know with Zippin, loyalty members can earn and redeem rewards in-store? Or that Zippin-powered stores can support special events like happy hour discounts or combo pricing that encourages larger baskets? Even sponsored promotions for guests using a particular brand of credit card? With Zippin, these things are possible. There’s no reason to exclude checkout-free stores from the same promotions that fans are offered in traditional stores.
The beauty of Zippin’s technology is that it opens up a world of possibilities. While some platforms limit your potential, Zippin empowers you to unlock it. We provide the foundation, you control what you want to create and grow from there. Your vision for the future isn’t constrained by technology—we give you the tools to realize it.
