Zippin

Zippin builds an AI-powered checkout-free retail platform that lets customers walk in, pick items, and leave while the system automatically charges them without requiring a wait in line. The system uses a combination of overhead cameras, shelf sensors, and real-time sensor fusion to track shoppers and products with high accuracy. Zippin’s flexible formats—including Zippin Lane, Zippin Walk-Up, Zippin Outdoors, and Zippin Micromarket Lite—allow retailers to deploy autonomous shopping in a wide range of environments with minimal infrastructure changes. On the software side, the platform handles product recognition, payment processing, and loyalty program integration, and provides detailed analytics on store performance, shopper behavior, and inventory patterns.
Zippin delivers its technology through a subscription bundle that combines hardware and software, effectively operating as a hardware-as-a-service (HaaS) model. Retailers subscribe to a turnkey package that covers the AI-powered checkout engine, integrated hardware installation, payment system connectivity, real-time store analytics, and ongoing software updates and support. The model is designed for rapid deployment and reliable operation in high-traffic retail settings, with venues frequently reporting improvements in throughput, labor efficiency, and revenue once stores convert to Zippin’s autonomous format.
