On March 7, 2023, Transact Campus, the award-winning provider of innovative mobile credential and payment solutions for a connected campus, announced that the company will integrate its solutions with Amazon's Just Walk Out platform, offering a quick and seamless way to pay vendors on and off campus.
The parties anticipate that stores powered by Amazon's Just Walk Out technology will be installed on campus using an integrated solution that combines a mobile ordering app for store entry, Transact's card system for payments, and Cloud POS for inventory, product catalogs, and reporting. The integration will be shown at Transact's annual user conference, Transact 360o, which will take place in Atlanta from March 6 to 8.
Shopping at a store that uses Amazon's Just Walk Out technology is intended to make the shopping experience effortless. Students, shoppers, and any verified user with a university account can enter a store by scanning their unique QR code. This starts a virtual shopping session during which the technology tracks what people take from or put back on the shelves. Shoppers can leave the store without having to wait in line, and the items they chose will be paid for using the information stored in their Transact Mobile Ordering account.

Reducing checkout lines allows shops to increase labor efficiency by utilizing personnel more effectively, while delivering new insights throughout the store and at the shelf.
Amazon's Just Walk Out technology will interact with Transact's Card System for declining balance and credit card transactions, providing integrated online product catalogs and reporting data with Cloud POS for improved customer insights and security.
