This disclosure describes, in part, systems for enabling a return of an item from an item-identification apparatus without requiring associate intervention. The systems and techniques herein provide for determining, based on first sensor data, that an item was placed in a receptacle and updating a virtual cart associated with a user operating the receptacle to indicate addition of the item. The system may then include a put back bin equipped with sensors to detect when an item is placed within a put back bin and thereby cause the system to update the virtual cart to indicate removal of the item before instructing to charge a payment instrument associated with the virtual cart.
