Amazon uses Stripe Terminal for Just Walk Out technology in Australia and Canada

Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology is designed to provide an effortless shopping experience. The guest enters the store by using their credit card or mobile wallet at the entrance gate. The technology detects what shoppers are taking off the shelves or returning and creates a virtual shopping session. When the guest has finished their shopping experience, they can simply leave the store without having to wait in line. The payment method you choose will be charged for the items removed.

Merchants in Australia and Canada use Stripe Terminal’s WisePad3 reader attached to physical entrance gates, and Stripe automatically processes payment after the guest leaves.

Stripe Connect programmatically routes payments from buyers directly to businesses using Just Walk Out technology. Amazon will continue to benefit from API reliability on Stripe, providing consistent uptime above 99.999% and authorization rates that remain high even during peak shopping hours.

“The only thing better than a quick checkout is no checkout at all. “I’m thrilled that Stripe is supporting Amazon’s Just Walk Out payment technology,” said Eileen O’Mara, Chief Revenue Officer at Stripe. “With Stripe Terminal and Connect, merchants using Just Walk Out technology benefit from the same reliability that ensures millions of successful transactions on Amazon.”

In addition to Just Walk Out technology, Stripe serves as a strategic payments partner for multiple Amazon businesses such as Prime, Audible, Kindle, Amazon Pay and more.
