Amazon said it would work with existing retailers or new stores as part of a construction or remodeling plan.

"Just Walk Out technology enables shoppers to simply enter a store, grab what they want, and just go," the website said.

"Born from years of experience at Amazon Go, Just Walk Out uses a combination of technologies to eliminate checkout lines. We now offer retailers the ability to leverage this technology in their stores to help bring fast and convenient checkout experiences to more shoppers."

The move comes weeks after Amazon launched its first full-size grocery store in Seattle using the cashierless model.
