Amazon One, the biometric identification technology developed by e-commerce giant Amazon, is running a pilot with three Enerbase Cooperative Resources convenience stores in North Dakota, according to a LinkedIn post earlier in April.
This is the first traditional convenience store to try the technology, according to an email from an Amazon One spokesperson. Other locations using the technology include airport retailers Hudson Group and Crews, as well as several restaurants, numerous stadium retailers and a variety of Amazon retail outlets.
The technology, which has been installed at Enerbase’s Corner Express, North Broadway, and Travel Plaza locations in Minot, North Dakota, uses a scan of the customer’s hand to identify them and allow for contactless payment for their purchases
