Simple Grab and Go Purchasing Process

1. Customer taps a card or uses mobile payment to freeze an initial amount for pre-authorization. The door unlocks automatically.

2. Customer takes the products freely (grab and go).

3. If the value of selected items exceeds the initial pre-authorized amount, the system will automatically trigger an incremental pre-authorization, increasing the authorized limit in real time to ensure smooth checkout.

4. Customer closes the door.

5. The AI system identifies the selected products accurately.

6. The final amount is automatically charged, and any remaining pre-authorized balance is released back to the customer.

The entire process takes only a few seconds and delivers a seamless grab-and-go vending experience with flexible payment authorization and reduced transaction failure risk.
