The payment zone is where customers form their first and last impression of your shop – which is why checkout counters need to be just as functional as they are comfortable to use. VVN offers modular checkout counters and self-checkout solutions for supermarkets, grocery and DIY stores, pharmacies, as well as offices and public institutions that need a payment or reception area. Every checkout counter can be tailored to your space and brand – with over 100 colour combinations available, module configurations for the left or right side, and fast pallet delivery across the Baltics and Scandinavia. Whatever the size of your shop, VVN checkout counters help make the payment process faster, safer, and visually consistent with your interior.
Choosing the right checkout counter starts with a question about your shop’s floor space and customer flow. For a small shop or pharmacy with limited space, the compact modular Q5 checkout counter is the better fit – it can be assembled from either the left or right side, depending on your layout. In supermarkets and DIY stores with high customer flow, it’s more advantageous to choose a checkout counter with a conveyor belt, as this speeds up scanning and reduces queues at peak hours.

The second key decision is choosing between a traditional, cashier-operated payment zone and a self-checkout. Self-checkout solutions work well in shops with a stable, predictable product range and customers who value speed, while a cashier-operated zone is still necessary if you sell excise goods or want to maintain personal contact with customers. Many VVN clients choose a combined approach – a convertible solution that switches between both modes as needed, allowing them to adapt to seasonal fluctuations without additional investment.
You get a better offer?
The modular checkout counter Q5 is VVN’s base solution for a classic payment zone – made from durable materials and assembled to your needs from either the left or right side, so it fits perfectly into your existing floor plan. Thanks to a wide range of accessories and over 100 available colours, it can be adapted for anything from a small neighbourhood shop to a large supermarket chain. The counter is delivered on pallets, which makes transport and on-site assembly easier.
The convertible Q5 checkout counter is designed specifically for shops where workload varies during the day or by season – it can operate in the traditional, cashier-operated mode, or switch to self-checkout. The head unit is compatible with most VVN cash register models, so integration with existing equipment is straightforward. Extra shelves for shopping bags and personal items make the payment process more convenient for both the customer and staff.
Where the payment zone needs extra surface space for equipment, the modular checkout counter Q5 with mast provides room for a monitor, PinPad holder, and indicator sign all in one place. The equipment integrated into the mast allows the payment terminal to be positioned somewhere visible and easy to reach, without cluttering the work surface. Like the other Q5 models, this version is also modular, can be assembled from either side, and is available in a hundred colour combinations.
For shops with larger one-off purchases – such as building materials or household goods retailers – the Q5 model with a spacious, compartmentalised product basket is useful. The basket lets the cashier organise items by category, speeding up scanning and reducing the risk of product damage. This checkout counter retains all the advantages of the Q5 series – modular construction, a wide range of accessories, and fast pallet delivery.
For shops with high customer flow – such as supermarkets and hypermarkets – the modular checkout counter Q5 with a long conveyor belt is the most suitable solution. The long belt lets customers unload their items while still queuing, significantly shortening overall service time at the till. This model is also available with a wide range of accessories and a spacious product basket, allowing you to fully tailor the payment zone to your shop’s needs.
V1 is a compact self-checkout unit suited to both standalone installation and grouping several units together in one payment zone. Its modern, ergonomic design includes a touchscreen, a weight-detection sensor, and 2D scanners on both sides, ensuring accurate and fast item scanning. V1 is the optimal solution for shops looking to expand their self-checkout capacity without using much extra space.

V2 builds on V1’s functionality with built-in shelves for placing and storing items, including a pull-out shelf and integrated check scales, which increase security against unpaid goods. Like V1, this self-checkout is fitted with a touchscreen, a weight sensor, and 2D scanners on both sides of the head unit. V2 is the better choice for shops where extra storage space right at the till matters, or where there’s a greater need for control functions.
