cashierless

Without human registers

Cashierless describes retail stores or checkout systems that operate without human cashiers, using technology like sensors, cameras, and mobile apps to process purchases automatically.

Customers enter, take items, and leave while the system tracks and charges their account: Amazon popularized the cashierless store concept.

Also called checkout-free.
