Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for providing a visual indicator indicative of a frictionless checkout status of at least a portion of a retail shelf. In one implementation, a method may comprise: receiving an output from one or more retail store sensors; based on the output from the one or more retail store sensors, determining a frictionless checkout eligibility status associated with the at least a portion of the retail shelf, wherein the frictionless checkout eligibility status is indicative of whether the at least a portion of the retail shelf includes one or more items eligible for frictionless checkout; and causing a display of an automatically generated visual indicator indicating the frictionless checkout eligibility status associated with the at least a portion of the retail shelf.
