365 Retail Markets is excited to announce a new payment feature for our modular Vision Smart Stores, VisionLink, which consolidates multi-door transactions for a connected, convenient shopping experience.
VisionLink adds greater convenience for customers shopping from modular Vision Smart Stores—customizable smart store combinations built from base units like the PicoCooler Vision, PicoAmbient Vision, and PicoFreezer Vision. With VisionLink enabled, customers can shop from each door of the modular smart store seamlessly with only one preauthorization and receipt for the transaction.
How VisionLink Works
When a customer presents their payment method, VisionLink’s backend “banks” the initial authorization, applying it across the entire array of linked units. Customers can move between coolers, freezers, and ambient cabinets in the same market and only see one transaction charge as they complete their shopping. Without multiple preauthorization charges from each door opened, shoppers can move seamlessly between multiple doors with the same ease and confidence as an open market—encouraging larger basket sizes from impulse selections and bundled promotions set by operators.
Multi-Customer Shopping
VisionLink also allows multiple patrons to shop from different doors simultaneously. Each customer completes a single pre-authorization when they first present their payment method. To unlock additional doors, they simply re-present the same payment method for secure item-tracking. As customers shop simultaneously, the system accurately assigns items to the correct shopper’s cart while the system intelligently bundles every selection into one transaction for each shopper.
The Next Step in Vision Smart Store Technology
VisionLink represents a major development in the progression of 365 Vision Smart Stores’ modular capabilities.
“Our Vision Smart Stores are designed to eliminate friction while giving operators the flexibility to choose configurations that fit each unique environment,” said Boris Amegadjie, Chief Product Officer at 365 Retail Markets. “VisionLink takes the next step, uniting smart security with seamless controlled access for an enhanced, simplified shopping experience—driving higher sales and greater customer satisfaction.”
