Payment is the key
The unit is wired into the checkout through the Paytag API, so there is no sequence of events in which a tag comes off without a completed transaction behind it.
Smart Detacher
The tag comes off when the payment clears, and not one second before.

Common questions
Smart or Mini Detacher+
Choose the Smart Detacher when it needs to work as a standalone unit, and the Mini Detacher for tight counter space inside an existing self-checkout. The payment-gated release logic is identical in both.
Opening a tag without a sale+
It cannot be activated without a valid transaction. Release is authorized through the PayTag API only once your POS confirms payment for that item.
Using it with another self-checkout+
It works standalone or inside any self-checkout system. The API protocol is defined against your POS during deployment.
Do we need Paytag self-checkout to use it?+
No. It runs standalone or integrates into any self-checkout system through the API. The protocol is defined against your POS during deployment.
What happens if a payment is refunded or voided?+
Confirm the behavior with engineering and answer it plainly. Loss prevention teams ask this early.
