How to pay for purchases at a self-service checkout using ELQR
Self-service checkouts have become increasingly popular in stores, providing a quick and convenient way to pay for purchases, for example, in Globus. While this system may seem complex at first glance, it's actually very easy to use. In this guide, we will walk you through how to pay for purchases at a self-service checkout, so you can feel comfortable using this service.
Step 1: Prepare Your Purchases and Loyalty Card
- Place your items in a basket or cart. Ensure you have everything you want to buy.
- If you have a loyalty card (such as a store discount card or app), have it ready. Many checkouts allow you to scan your card to receive discounts.
Step 2: Approach the Self-Service Checkout
- Find an available checkout. Self-service checkouts are usually grouped together and easily visible.
- Place your items next to the checkout. There is usually a designated area for placing items.

Step 3: Scan Your Items
- Take the first item. Each item has a barcode—these are the black and white stripes on the packaging.
- Find the barcode scanner. This device reads the information from the barcode. Hold the item near the scanner so the barcode is under the infrared beam or near the reading device.
- Make sure the item is successfully scanned. The item's name and price will appear on the checkout screen. If the item doesn't scan, try turning it around or moving the barcode closer to the scanner.

Step 4: Place the Scanned Items
- After scanning an item, move it to the designated area for scanned items. This helps the checkout keep track of processed items.
- Continue scanning all your items. Repeat the scanning process for each item.
- Press the button to start payment.
