In one embodiment, the checkout application identifies the stage that the customer is in in the checkout process such as arriving at a point-of-sale (POS) system, logging into a retailer application, scanning items, selecting a payment option, completing payment, loading purchased items in a cart/basket, etc. One of these stages can be selected as a “trigger stage” which, when reached by the customer, triggers the checkout application to summon the customer’s vehicle to a designated area (e.g., a lane near the store’s exit, special parking spots, etc.).",
