Frictionless Retail: Why Customers Now Expect Scan & Go Checkout Options
Retail Without Roadblocks
In 2025, shoppers aren't just asking for faster checkout they expect it. Long gone are the days when waiting in line was a routine part of the in-store experience. Today's consumers are seeking efficiency, autonomy, and tech-driven convenience. The rise of Scan & Go systems is a direct reflection of this shift, and solutions like Eflyn's ShopEase are leading the way.
Frictionless Retail: Why Scan & Go Is Now Expected
In 2025, waiting in line feels outdated. Shoppers now expect grab, scan, and go options for faster, more independent experiences.
ShopEase delivers exactly that a self-checkout kiosk built for Shopify retailers. Shoppers can scan items, pay securely, and walk out without needing staff.
Why ShopEase works:

Frictionless checkout is no longer a bonus. It’s the standard. And ShopEase helps you meet it, with tech your customers already expect.
From Convenience to Expectation
The growing popularity of Scan & Go isn’t a passing trend it’s a response to consumer behavior. According to a recent report from PYMNTS, more than 60% of U.S. shoppers have used a self-checkout system, and nearly 80% of Gen Z and Millennials prefer stores that offer them.
Scan & Go has gone from novelty to necessity. With grab, scan, and pay features, these kiosks reduce friction and give shoppers more control. Retailers are under pressure to keep pace—and that’s where ShopEase delivers.
What Is ShopEase?
ShopEase is a fully integrated self-checkout kiosk solution for retailers using the Shopify platform. It brings together product browsing, inventory tracking, personalized recommendations, and secure payments in one sleek interface. But what sets it apart is its Scan & Go functionality, designed to simplify checkout from start to finish.
Scan & Go: A Closer Look
Shoppers using ShopEase can select items in-store, scan them directly at the kiosk, and complete payment all without employee assistance. It’s fast, intuitive, and secure. With local caching and real-time inventory sync, customers only see what’s in stock, avoiding confusion or disappointment.
Key Benefits for Retailers:
- Shopify Catalog Integration: Syncs product data, collections, and pricing in real time.
- Smart Sync: Automatically updates kiosks with any backend changes.
- Secure In-Person Payments: Supports EMV-certified credit/debit card processing.
- Real-Time Inventory Tracking: Displays up-to-date stock to avoid overselling.
- Smart Concierge Selling: Recommends related products to raise basket size.
A Smarter In-Store Journey
With ShopEase, customers can explore a store’s entire product catalog even items not on the shelves. The “endless aisle" experience means retailers can sell beyond their square footage, offering pickup, delivery, or shipping options on out-of-stock products.
The Scan & Go journey starts with product discovery and ends with secure checkout. Customers can browse, get suggestions through AI-powered Smart Concierge, and quickly move through the purchasing process. The touch interface is easy to use, the layout customizable, and the experience designed to be as fast as it is intuitive.
Supporting Marketing and Loyalty
ShopEase also brings marketing into the checkout experience. With built-in tools like the Spin to Win app, retailers can engage customers in-store and collect valuable emails for future campaigns. Promotions and announcements can be displayed with dynamic visuals using the built-in Digital Signage module.
Built for Reliability and Control
Retailers benefit from remote management tools, allowing them to monitor, update, and adjust kiosk performance from anywhere. Whether it’s swapping collections, updating visuals, or adjusting pricing, ShopEase ensures control is never out of reach.
With strong encryption protocols and PCI-compliant payment processing, ShopEase also ensures that security never takes a back seat.
The Future Is Frictionless
The rise of mobile payment, contactless shopping, and hybrid commerce models is pushing retailers toward checkout options that are fast, secure, and largely self-directed. ShopEase meets these demands by delivering a comprehensive Scan & Go system that fits seamlessly into the Shopify ecosystem.
With younger shoppers driving the shift toward technology-first retail experiences, now is the time to modernize brick-and-mortar stores with solutions that reflect how customers already expect to shop.
Summary
Frictionless checkout isn’t a luxury it’s a standard. ShopEase makes this standard accessible for Shopify-based retailers looking to stay competitive. With secure Scan & Go, real-time product syncing, and intelligent selling tools, ShopEase is helping retailers simplify shopping and align with today’s consumer expectations.
