Amazon To Sell ‘Automated Checkout’ Service To Other Retailers

Amazon’s new ‘self checkout’ technology might be popping up at more retail stores.

The company just announced a new business selling its technology, called ‘Just Walk Out’, to other retailers. The online giant says it has “several” deals lined up already.

Shoppers would scan a credit card as they entered the store, which would then track which items a customer picks up and charge them as they leave, without any cashiers or checkout lines. Unlike the company’s Amazon Go grocery stores, the technology doesn’t require the use of an app.
