Shoppers at enabled locations can select their desired items, each equipped with a unique RFID tag, and conveniently complete their purchase as they exit.
This can be done either by using their debit or credit cards or by scanning their hand at an Amazon One terminal.

In addition to Amazon’s own stores, various organizations and businesses have embraced the Just Walk Out technology in recent years. This includes Marymount University in Arlington, Virginia, and travel retailer Hudson. Furthermore, Amazon has seamlessly integrated the grab-and-go system into its Fresh grocery store concept and a Whole Foods Market in Washington, D.C.
In March 2022, Amazon confirmed plans to close its 4-Star, Books, and Pop-Up stores, redirecting their efforts towards Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods Market, Amazon Go, and Amazon Style stores, as well as their cutting-edge Just Walk Out technology.
As Amazon implements RFID technology to its Just Walk Out system, an increasing number of retailers are adopting identification tools to streamline inventory tracking and curb losses. Uniqlo, for instance, has embraced RFID tools for both self-checkout services and supply chain management as it expands its global footprint. This move indicates the impact technology continues to have on the retail landscape, promising an even more seamless and efficient shopping experience for consumers worldwide.
