Just released: Shopping Cart makes adding Checkout by Amazon even easier

Currently, merchants selling more than one item at a time integrate with Checkout by Amazon using either the XML API or the HTML API. With the introduction of the Checkout by Amazon Shopping Cart, integration with Checkout by Amazon is much easier. With this Shopping Cart, your customers can easily add, view, and edit items, and then complete their purchases using the information in their Amazon.com account.

Easy Integration: You can be up and running in minutes with the Checkout by Amazon Shopping Cart just by inserting few lines of HTML code.

1-Click® Ordering: The Checkout by Amazon Shopping Cart can identify Amazon.com customers shopping on your website and offer them Amazon’s 1-Click experience. Your customers never leave your website during their entire shopping and payment experience.

Match Your Website’s Appearance: The Checkout by Amazon Shopping Cart can be easily customized to match your website style by changing the background and text colors.
