Amazon One allows shoppers to pay with a palm scan. But what are they doing with your data? Concerns rise over biometric data being gathered and sold. Could this become mandatory as cashless businesses grow?
Amazon first introduced the service in 2017 under the name “Prime Wardrobe. ” Their goal was to pose a challenge to other online private styles, such as Stitch Fix, Rent the Runway, Trunk Club and others.
It included a variety of pieces for women, men, youth and babies. Prime consumers can choose up to six items to keep during a seven-day trial period and only charge for what they choose to keep.
Meanwhile, Amazon introduced a new feature in November called Amazon Haul, a cheap online store aimed at competing with stores like Shein and Temu. Offers electronics, clothing and other products for $20 or less.
