Pricecheck Inc., a software company located in Dover, Delaware, developed the Pricecheck mobile self checkout app, an app for scanning and paying for items remotely while shopping physically, resulting in a more convenient process for shoppers. Pricecheck Inc. is also a payment gateway processor for brick and mortar stores, enabling them to accept contactless payments.

Pricecheck started work on its artificial intelligence application in 2016 and filed provisional patent applications for it in each of following four years. The app contains a QR code/UPC code and RFID-based checkout system that enables seamless checkout.

A customer first installs Pricecheck’s mobile self checkout app on their mobile device, and when shopping at a physical store, they scan items with their device’s phone. The customer then makes payment through the mobile app to the merchant’s account. Pricecheck Inc. ensures the security of transactions on its platform through bank-level encryption. Using the app does away with the need for physical checkout procedures, an essential adaptation during the pandemic that calls for social distancing.
