Introducing Amazon One: A simple method for utilizing your palm to access stores and make payments. This state-of-the-art biometric technology enables customers to quickly and securely complete transactions at the payment kiosk with only a wave of their hand by connecting their palm to a saved credit card.
Amazon One, a cashierless system, was first made available in its Go shops. It was eventually expanded to include Whole Foods stores, though. Over 200 Whole Foods locations now offer Amazon One, and the business soon hopes to expand its availability to all 500 of the upscale grocer’s outlets.
With a record-breaking 3 million usage of Amazon One, Amazon is seeing a sizable “growing demand” for its technology.
As part of its Amazon Web Services cloud division, Amazon is now actively promoting its physical store technology to third parties. With the help of partnerships with airport shops, sporting arenas, and concert halls, the business has successfully implemented its ground-breaking palm-based payment technology and frictionless checkout system known as Just Walk Out.

Customers may quickly pre-enroll on our website using their credit or debit card, Amazon account, and cellphone number to gain access to the system. Major American banks including American Express, Discover, Mastercard, and Visa are partners with us. Once pre-enrolled, shoppers may finalize their membership at a participating Whole Foods store by simply scanning their hand over the Amazon One device. If they’d rather, they may also sign up directly at an Amazon One device in the store.
“We are always looking for new ways to delight our customers and improve the shopping experience,” Whole Foods Market’s chief technology officer, Leandro Balbinot, made a remark on the growth. “Since we’ve introduced Amazon One at Whole Foods Market stores over the past two years, we’ve seen that customers love the convenience it provides, and we’re excited to bring Amazon One to all of our customers across the U.S.”
The AWS Cloud, which is protected by a number of security safeguards, is guaranteed to be secure by Amazon. Additionally, Amazon uses a palm “signature” that is created by examining the particular vein pattern and properties of the palm rather than the actual palm picture. In order to match identities precisely, this produces a specific numerical vector representation.
Amazon’s use of biometric payments goes beyond speeding up checkout for the convenience of the customer. The store has developed a system that can monitor users in the digital and physical worlds and give individualized adverts and recommendations to increase its income potential by fusing biometrics with payment card information and Amazon accounts.
