A Different Checkout Experience
What Is Self-Service POS?
Self-service point-of-sale (POS) systems allow customers to complete some or all of their checkout process with limited assistance from store staff. Depending on the setup, customers may scan product barcodes, review items on a display, and use connected equipment to complete a transaction.
The hardware behind these experiences can vary from one business to another. A retailer may need a barcode scanner and touchscreen, while another setup may also require receipt printing, payment hardware, or additional peripherals.
BarcodeFactory helps businesses explore barcode scanning and point-of-sale hardware that may fit their operational needs.
Hardware commonly considered for self-service
- Barcode scanners for product identification
- Touchscreen monitors for customer interaction
- Receipt printers and compatible receipt paper
- Payment readers and other checkout peripherals

Before You Choose
Plan a Self-Service POS Setup Around Your Needs
Self-service checkout equipment needs to work together with the POS application and the way your business handles transactions. Start with the workflow and then identify the hardware that is appropriate for the environment.
Not every station requires every device shown on this page. Your software provider or POS integrator can help confirm system requirements and supported equipment before you purchase.
Compatibility matters
A device being suitable for POS use does not automatically
mean it will work with every self-checkout application.
Confirm supported models, interfaces, and integration
requirements for your specific system.
Define the checkout workflow
Determine which tasks customers will complete themselves and which tasks require staff assistance.
Identify required devices
Consider scanners, displays, printers, payment readers, and any necessary accessories.
Check compatibility and connectivity
Verify software support, device interfaces, mounting, available space, and power requirements.
Plan for daily operation
Account for expected transaction volume, cleaning, consumables, maintenance, and staff support.
