RFID Security Gates

Not a beep that something left. A named item, a known size, and whether anyone paid for it.

Built to drop into the store you already run

It knows what walked out

It knows what walked out

The gate identifies the specific item passing through and whether it was paid for, so staff respond to a garment and a size rather than to a noise.

Silent on paid items

Purchases pass without a sound, so the alert stops being background noise the floor learns to ignore.

Pillar or ceiling

Standing antennas, or mounted overhead and out of sight.

Staff see the item

The companion app names what triggered the alert.

What happens at the door

Every self-checkout runs through the same four automatic steps.

01/4Read
Step 01 / 4

Read

The gate reads every RFID tag passing through it.

02/4Check
Step 02 / 4

Check

Each tag is checked against the Paytag record of what has been paid for.

03/4Decide
Step 03 / 4

Decide

Paid items pass in silence. An unpaid item raises the alert.

04/4Show
Step 04 / 4

Show

The companion app tells staff exactly which item it was.

Technical details

Formats

Pillar or ceiling

Standing antennas, or mounted overhead.

Detection

Item level

Identifies the specific item, not just its presence.

Integration

Paytag API

Paid status arrives in real time from the POS.

Alerting

Unpaid-item trigger

Triggered only by an item with no confirmed payment against it.

Staff app

Names the flagged item

Names the item that raised the alert and shows its details.

Replaces

Upgrades your EAS gates

Traditional EAS gates, while the wider system still supports EAS tags.

PayTag API — REST and WebSocket

Integration

Every checkout (kiosk, sink, staffed counter or shopper app) closes a transaction through the API with the transaction number and the RFID of each item. The gate checks every exiting EPC against paid transactions in real time.

Real-time

Inventory sync

Each exit event is written to the PayTag cloud the moment it happens and matched to the item record, so stock updates as items leave — sold or not. Syncs to POS and ERP through the same API.

Monitoring

Dashboard

Gates app shows every exit live: item, SKU, size, time and paid / unpaid status. Alerts only for unpaid items — no beep for paid ones. Item-level, not zone-level.

Common questions

Already running EAS gates+

RFID gates identify which item left and whether it was paid for, where EAS gates only detect that something passed. Every alert becomes a specific, checkable event instead of a guess.

Responding to an alert+

Staff open the companion app, which names the item that triggered it. The conversation starts from a specific garment rather than a search of a bag.

How does the gate know what was paid for?+

The gates receive payment status from your POS in real time through the PayTag API. It is the same record that authorizes a detacher to release a tag.

Can it tell the difference between a customer leaving and stock being moved?+

It checks each tag against payment status, so an item that has been sold passes silently. Confirm how staff-initiated stock movement through the doors is handled.
