Convenience retailer Energy Mart is testing Amazon One biometric identification across its seven-store footprint, according to a LinkedIn post from Amazon last week.
Amazon One allows a customer’s palm to serve as identification, associating it with an account to perform tasks like paying for items or allowing admittance to a store or other location.
After testing the technology in places like sports arenas and its own brick-and-mortar retail locations, this is the second convenience store chain Amazon has rolled out its palm-scanning technology to, after Enerbase debuted the program in late April.
