Definition: Amazon Dash Cart
Amazon's automated shopping cart in Amazon Fresh supermarkets and various Whole Foods stores, which are owned by Amazon. Introduced in 2020, Dash Carts are an option as regular cash register lanes are the primary checkout. Customers sign in at the cart with their Amazon app and load their groceries into bags. They exit through a Dash Cart lane by signing out on screen and taking their bags. See Amazon Go.
Dash Cart Experience
To start, the cart scans the QR code in the shopper's Amazon app (top). As groceries are dropped into bags, the cart scans the bar codes and displays a running total on screen (middle). If something is removed, it is subtracted from the list. Produce with product lookup (PLU) codes is entered manually and the cart's scale computes by-the-pound items (bottom). These examples were taken at Amazon Fresh in Warrington, Pennsylvania, which opened in 2021.
