- How is shopping at Amazon Go different than other stores?
One of the ways Amazon Go is different is that it's powered by Amazon's Just Walk Out shopping. Just Walk Out shopping lets you skip a traditional checkout when you pay with your Amazon app (or through a payment method that's already tied to your account). Once inside the store, shop like normal. Anything you take off the shelf is automatically added to your virtual cart and anything you put back on the shelf is removed from your virtual cart. When you're done shopping, simply leave the store and the technology will automatically charge you for only the items you take with you. The charges will go to the payment method saved to your Amazon.com account, or your credit card. Learn more about Just Walk Out shopping.- Do I have to use Just Walk Out shopping at Amazon Go?
No, although we do think it offers the best customer experience, you're welcome to use a traditional check out process. Just let a store employee know when you enter the store and they can open a gate for you.- What other payment options are available?
Payment methods may vary by individual store. Some of the payment methods you may find available at different stores include:
Amazon App
To use this method open the Amazon app on your phone, and look for text reading “In-Store Code” beneath the app search bar (you may need to scroll over to find it). Once clicked, a QR code will appear on your phone. Check that the payment method displayed is the one you'd like to use, then head to the gate and place your phone screen, with the code, over the gate scanner to enter.
Credit Card
To shop with a credit card, simply insert it into the credit card reader at the gate.
Amazon One
Amazon One is a fast, contactless way to pay using your palm. If you're already signed up, simply hold your palm over the gate scanner. If you would like to sign up, look for an Amazon One kiosk in the store lobby, or ask a store employee.
Alternate Methods
If you'd like to pay with another method like cash or SNAP/EBT, a store employee will be able to assist you.- Do I have to be a Prime member to shop at Amazon Go?

WIKIPEDIAAmazon Go is a Chain of Convenience Stores
They are in the United States and the United Kingdom, and are operated by the online retailer Amazon. The stores are cashierless, thus partially automated, with customers able to purchase products without being checked out by a cashier or using a self-checkout station. As of 2023, there are 43 open and announced store locationsAmazon Go stores were conceptualized and tested by a team of Amazon executives, who constructed a 15,000-square-foot mock supermarket in a rented warehouse in Seattle, before revealing the work to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in 2015. The first store, located in the company's Day 1 building, opened to employees on December 5, 2016, and to the public on January 22, 2018.
The flagship store sells products such as prepared foods, meal kits, limited groceries and liquor. A larger variant, Amazon Go Grocery, opened in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood on February 25, 2020. The following month Amazon began to offer its technology to other retailers so that their customers could make purchases without the involvement of cashiers or Amazon accounts.

It was revealed that Amazon's "Just Walk Out" technology was supported by 1,000 Indian workers who manually reviewed transactions. Despite claims of being fully automated through computer vision, a significant portion of transactions required this manual verification. Additionally, Amazon announced plans to replace the "Just Walk Out" technology with Dash Carts in Amazon Fresh stores, aiming to enhance customer experience with features like locating products and viewing receipts in real-time.
