Target’s self-checkout option provides a convenient way to complete your shopping without waiting in a traditional checkout line. You can scan the barcodes of your items and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the transaction. Payment options accepted at self-checkout include cash, debit and credit cards, and store gift cards. You can also use digital payment options such as Apple Pay or Google Pay if your device is equipped with these capabilities. In addition to the regular self-checkout lanes, Target also offers self-checkout kiosks in some locations. These kiosks are designed to handle smaller transactions and are typically located near the front of the store. They have a smaller footprint and fewer checkout stations than the regular self-checkout lanes but offer the same payment options.
