Debuting in October 2022 in time for NHL and NBA preseason games, the new stores enable customers to insert their credit card at the entry gates and start shopping. As they select food and beverages, Amazons Just Walk Out technology determines what they take from or return to the shelves. After they exit, the credit card a customer inserted at the entry gate will be charged for the items they took.
