The 20+ Amazon Go stores across the US are known for their unorthodox payment method.

Customers do not have to go through the checkout at any time.

They take the products they want from the shelves and advanced camera systems and proximity sensors record the purchases in a mobile application that has the Amazon account linked.

Upon leaving, you receive a detailed invoice with all the products you have purchased and that's it.

To home.

Now, Jeff Bezos' company will begin to test with a new formula that does not identify users by their smartphone, but uses the palm of the hand.

It is a biometric device that will be known as Amazon One, which will soon begin to be installed in the company's stores and could soon be expanded to the Whole Foods supermarket chain, which the company also controls.

Amazon would also offer it to third parties as it already does with the current automatic payment system, although at the moment it is only implemented in its stores.

The new system saves above all time.

Now you need to scan a code on your phone screen to access Amazon Go stores.

This code is the one that activates the identification process and allows Amazon to know that the user has entered to buy and must follow up.

With the new sensor it will not be necessary to even take the phone out of your bag or pocket.

Simply passing your hand over a sensor at the store entrance turnstile.

It will not even be necessary to have an Amazon account or the official app to pay.

Amazon will allow you to associate a phone number and a credit card to the image of the palm of your hand and eliminate these

The company also believes that it could become a system to expedite entry into concerts, cinemas or stadiums in the future.

It will even offer it as an identification system in office buildings.

"We believe that Amazon One has great potential beyond stores," explains Dilip Kumar, vice president of technology at Amazon.
