How it works

Enroll once. Pay with your face.

After enrollment, shoppers can pay with their face at participating stores.

  1. 01

    Enroll once

    Shoppers complete enrollment, take a selfie, and link an eligible payment method.

  2. 02

    Look at the camera

    At checkout, facial recognition matches the shopper to their enrolled profile, while liveness detection checks that a real person is present.

  3. 03

    Complete the payment

    The payment is processed using the linked card or store credit account. No card or phone needed at checkout.
