Abstract

Examples provides sale-restricted items management for self-checkout. A list of sale-restricted items is displayed via a graphical user interface (GUI) provided by a user interface. A notification component transmits a notification to a user device associated with an authorized user to verify a transaction responsive to an unauthorized user selection of a sale-restricted item from the list of sale-restricted items displayed. The notification includes an identification of the selected sale-restricted item and location of the selected sale-restricted item. A verification component authorizes completion of the transaction associated with the selected sale-restricted item by the unauthorized user on condition an age verification is obtained from the user device associated with the authorized user. Responsive to the authorization, an unlocking signal is sent to a locking storage device storing the selected sale-restricted item.
