YOUR FACE IS YOUR PAYMENT™

Frictionless Facial Payments​

Simplify and speed up transactions with facial authentication, increasing throughput and allowing guests to get back to the event faster.

More Transactions

2x faster payments increase throughput, reduce lines and FOMO, driving more sales.

Happier Guests

A simple, one-time enrollment process that saves hundreds of collective guest hours.

Simplified Operations

Automatic purchases and ID checks to reduce the risk of human error.

Face for Payment

Guests connect information associated with their payment method—credit cards, loyalty accounts, IDs for age-restricted purchases—with their face, allowing them to instantly pay for food, drinks, and merchandise at Wicket-powered locations.

Multiple payments ecosystem integrations

Wicket technology has plug-and-play integrations with major Point of Sale (POS), loyalty, wallet, and concessions providers, as well as multiple self-serve kiosk and autonomous providers, enabling fast deployment and faster ROI.

A single face scan can verify identity, purchase eligibility for age-restricted purchases, and validate loyalty accounts in less than 1 second, eliminating friction, increasing throughput and payments, and reducing ID-related risks.

Wicket sensors are lightweight and easy to update on event day, allowing teams to adjust sensor function, placement, and branding as needed.​ 

Face for Payments

It wasn't that long ago that we were envisioning, 'how can a fan get from their car to their seat with a drink and a hot dog without taking anything out of their pocket?' We are doing that today—you can do that right now.
