In Brazil, while 'checkout system' is widely used in modern retail and e-commerce, the traditional term 'caixa' (cashier/till) remains common in everyday speech. The term 'checkout' has become increasingly standard with the growth of supermarkets and online shopping. In Portugal, there's a tendency to use more formal Portuguese terms or keep 'checkout' untranslated in technical contexts. The self-checkout phenomenon has grown significantly in both countries post-2010.
