Self checkout for retail stores, without kiosks

Most self checkout means buying kiosks, finding floor space for them and keeping them running. QwikExit takes a different route: the shopper’s own phone becomes the checkout. They scan the barcodes already on your products, pay in the app and leave through an express exit, where a guard checks a signed exit pass.

Who it is for

QwikExit is built for busy retail stores and chains in India that see long billing queues, especially on weekends, and a lot of small baskets. It suits:

  • Grocery and supermarket chains, for packaged and barcoded goods. See self checkout for grocery stores.
  • Premium grocery, where shoppers expect a faster way out.
  • Value fashion chains, where the guard removes security tags at the exit.
  • Hypermarkets and large single stores with weekend rush hours.

It works best for chains of about 5 to 200 stores that don’t have a large in house tech team, because we run the setup for you.

How it works in your store

  1. The shopper scans the QR standee at the entrance, and your store opens in the QwikExit app.
  2. They scan each product’s barcode as they shop. Prices and offers come from your own system.
  3. They pay in the app by UPI, card or wallet. The money goes to your own Razorpay account.
  4. The app shows a signed exit pass. Your guard scans it with the QwikExit Store app and checks the item count and price band.
  5. Head office sees every sale live in the Retailer Console.

The full shopper journey is explained in how scan and pay works.

What makes it different

  • No new hardware. Shoppers use their phone and guards use any smartphone. We provide the QR standees.
  • Your barcodes and your prices. We sync your item master, prices and offers. If a price doesn’t match your POS, the item is flagged instead of being sold at the wrong price.
  • Your money. Payments go through Razorpay, an RBI authorised payment aggregator, straight into your account. We never hold it.
  • Theft controls built in. Signed exit passes that expire within minutes, a risk score for every cart, random full checks and stock audits.
  • Built for India. UPI first, a digital GST invoice for every sale, and data stored in India under the DPDP Act, 2023.

What you need

  • A way to share your item master and prices: an API, a scheduled sync from your ERP or POS, or an Excel file to start.
  • A Razorpay account for the store, which we help you set up.
  • One or two guards at the express exit with a smartphone.

What it costs

A monthly fee for each live store, a small fee for each checkout done in the app and a one time setup. It is never a share of your sales. Payment gateway charges are paid to Razorpay at their normal rates, the same as your card machine. See pricing or ask us for a quote for your chain.

Common questions

Is QwikExit a self checkout kiosk?

No. QwikExit is a mobile self checkout. The shopper scans and pays on their own phone, so the store does not buy or maintain kiosks.

Do shoppers need to download an app?

Yes, the free QwikExit app for Android and iPhone. It is one app for every partner store. Shoppers without the app use your normal counter.

Do we need new barcodes or hardware?

No. Shoppers scan the barcodes already on your products, and guards use the QwikExit Store app on any smartphone. You only need the QR standees we provide.

Which stores is QwikExit best for?

Busy grocery, premium grocery and value fashion stores in India with weekend queues and many small baskets, from single large stores to chains of about 200 stores.
