The retail giantĀ launched Amazon One in SeattleĀ in September 2020, and has now rolled it out to more than 50 Amazon Books, Amazon Go, Amazon 4-Star and Whole Foods Market stores across 15 states as well as in the capital, Washington DC.

According toĀ Amazon’s patent filed in 2019, the tech identifies a person by their hand’s veins, wrinkles, and even bones.

To sign up to Amazon One, customers have to go to a store equipped with scanners, insert their credit or debit card into a machine, and hover their hand over the scanner. Amazon says the process takes less than a minute.

According to an advert promoting Amazon One seen byĀ Techcrunch, customers who sign up for the service in-store will receive a US$10 promotional credit via email that they can use ā€œon any products sold by Amazon.comā€.

The advert does not specify how long the credit offer will be made available to customers registering for Amazon One.
