More than 65 Whole Foods Market stores in California will soon offer the palm recognition and payment service Amazon One.

This is the first major rollout of the technology at Amazon's Whole Foods locations after successful launches in Seattle, Austin and select stores in New York and Los Angeles, according to an email from Amazon.

Amazon One is debuting in Malibu, Montana Avenue and Santa Monica Whole Foods Market stores in Los Angeles. In the coming weeks, the service will become available at more Whole Foods Market stores across California including other parts of Los Angeles, Orange County, the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento and Santa Cruz.

Once a customer has enrolled their palm (or both palms) with the Amazon One service and linked a credit/debit card, they can go to the checkout counter and hover their palm over the Amazon One device and the card linked to their palm will be charged for their purchase.
