Duty-free stores around the world are bustling with shoppers every day, as travelers from all over the globe indulge in the joy of shopping. To meet consumer demands, duty-free stores offer a wide variety of products. However, this also presents significant challenges in identity verification and checkout processes.

Traditionally, passport information was manually verified by store staff, a method that was not only inefficient but also prone to errors. With rapid technological advancements, an efficient and accurate solution has emerged – the passport reader. This innovation has brought a transformative change to the operation of duty-free stores.
