description: 'Zippin (vCognition Technologies Inc.) builds a checkout-free, cashierless
  retail platform that uses computer vision, sensor fusion and machine learning to let
  shoppers enter a store with an app, credit card or campus credential, take what they
  want and leave without a checkout line. The company sells store formats including the
  Zippin Retrofit, Zippin Lane, Zippin Walk-Up, Micromarket Lite and Zippin Outdoors, and
  operates in stadiums, arenas, airports, hotels, theme parks, college campuses and
  convenience retail. Its integration surface is the Zippin Gateway, an API framework the
  company says connects the platform to more than 25 third-party systems — payment
  gateways, loyalty and gift programs, campus card providers, inventory systems, POS and
  self-service beverage hardware — alongside a Store Dashboard whose Reports Dashboard
  data can also be pulled through a REST API with nested JSON payloads. Founded by
  veterans of Amazon and SRI, Zippin is headquartered in San Francisco.'

  description: 'The Zippin Gateway is Zippin''s integration/API framework for its
    checkout-free store platform — the surface retailers and partners use to connect
    payment gateways, loyalty and gift providers, campus card systems, inventory systems
    and POS to a Zippin store, and to pull order, cart and reporting data. Zippin''s own
    retailer documentation describes it as "a standard rest API with a nested JSON
    payload" that a retailer team can call either for a given date or for change
    transactions since a point in time. No public API reference, OpenAPI description or
    developer portal is published: the live host at https://api.getzippin.com answers every
    /v1/* request with an HTTP 401 authentication_error, so the operation surface is
    reachable only by Zippin customers and integration partners.'

  detail: 'Zippin markets the "Zippin Gateway" API framework but publishes no developer
    portal, no API reference and no machine-readable contract anywhere; the live host
    api.getzippin.com answers every path under /v1 — including paths that cannot exist —
    with an HTTP 401 authentication_error, and the only public description of the API is a
    single retailer help-center article saying it is "a standard rest API with a nested JSON
    payload".'
