Oracle Xstore v25: Powering 24/7 retail with self-checkout related enhancements 

Self-checkout is playing an increasingly important role in how many retailers scale store operations. Extended operational hours, rising transaction volumes, and omnichannel fulfilment have changed what it means to run a store. Today, scale is measured less by store count and more by how consistently stores perform across formats, locations, and time zones. Across retail, leaders are seeing the same patterns emerge: 

• Self-checkout driving a growing share of transactions 

• Stores operating beyond traditional hours 

• Associates overseeing multiple customer journeys at once 

This shift calls for a new store operating model—one that balances automation with visibility and customer autonomy with operational control. 

Oracle Retail Xstore POS v25 introduces enhancements that support expanded self-checkout usage and stores configured for continuous operations, strengthening store execution for self-service–led environments.

The enhancements that come with Oracle Xstore v25 focus on strengthening self-checkout workflows, store controls, and operational visibility. It supports retailers expanding self-checkout operations and managing 24/7 commerce.
