Back in 2023, Whole Foods Market announced plans to introduce palm recognition technology as a new payment method. Now, in 2025, shoppers across the United States can use this system, marking a shift towards a faster and more convenient checkout experience.
In a blog post from July 2023, Amazon stated its intention to increase the number of Whole Foods locations nationwide, offering Amazon One palm recognition for payments. This expansion was estimated to grow the availability of this hand-scanning payment method from over 200 stores to 500.
