Amazon upgrades RFID lanes

By Retail Technology | Friday January 23 2026 | UPDATED 22.01.26

Amazon has revealed the next generation of its RFID lanes that are portable and can be deployed in hours, not weeks

Ideal for pop-up shops, festivals, and temporary retail locations, the latest Just Walk Out RFID lanes feature three enhancements that make checkout even faster and easier.

They are In-lane screens with an intuitive user interface guide shoppers through the checkout process while displaying cart totals; motorised gates automatically open and close for seamless traffic flow; and dynamic pre-authorisation giving customers greater cart visibility to help ensure they know what they’re spending before completing their purchase.

Previously, customers using RFID lanes had to push through manual gates and wait until after checkout to see their cart total—now these enhancements give customers greater cart visibility and automated guidance through the checkout process.
