Get Setup for Entry Integration
Shopper Entry Options
Just Walk Out technology supports multiple entry modes to authenticate shoppers at your store. You can select a single entry mode or combine multiple modes to offer a broader experience.
| Entry Mode | Description | Integration Required |
|---|---|---|
| Credit Card | Shoppers insert or tap a payment card at a standard reader affixed to the gate | None: no additional integration is required. Amazon handles payment authentication and balance tracking. |
| Application | Shoppers scan a QR code from your mobile app, where they have previously registered | Identity Connector: You must establish an Identity Connector to integrate with your authentication system. This enables Amazon to validate the |
| shopper identity your system provides. | ||
| Badge | Shoppers scan the code on their employee badge | Identity Connector: you must establish an Identity Connector to integrate with your authentication system. This enables Amazon to validate the |
| shopper identity your system provides. | ||
| Bring Your Own Auth (BYOA) | You manage the full shopper authentication and authorization process | You are responsible for authenticating and authorizing the shopper. To pass entry decisions to Amazon, integrate with the startAuth and processAuth APIs. Amazon only actions the gate based on your system's response. |
Considerations
-
Mobile application: in order to enable store entry using your company's mobile application you will need to enable the generation of QR code to allow the shopper to scan on the store gate. The QR code will need to follow the Amazon QR code spec available on the Merchant portal.
-
Integration with backend systems: you will need to lookup shoppers and validate the payment associated with the shopper in your backend systems when using a mobile app or badge entry, as well as confirm the shopper meets your authorization criteria.
