Amazon has debuted its Palm Print checkout method that uses a new biometric feature that scans the hands and accepts its cashless payment for its Whole Foods Market, last April 21. Instead of the traditional fingerprint or facial recognition scanner commonly used for security, or hovering a phone for Apple Pay or Google Pay, a body part is enough for a checkout.

Amazon One uses Palm Print technology to proceed users to check out and pay for the items they wish to purchase.
This is another innovation that upgrades the technology by man, and it promotes the use of fewer and fewer gadgets by integrating innovation on a person s body part, which is naturally something brought every day. Forgetting the phone or wallet would no longer be a problem on groceries when buying in Whole Foods Market with Amazon s new feature.
