Announcing Alternative Payment Method from Checkout by Amazon

With Checkout by Amazon, customers have multiple options when it comes to using the information stored in their Amazon.com accounts to buy on your site. In addition to the existing method of selecting Checkout by Amazon on your shopping cart page, we have added an alternative method that enables customers to select Amazon Payments on the payments page of your standard checkout.

1. Existing Method: Your customers can select Checkout by Amazon on your shopping cart page, login and use either 1-click or standard checkout without leaving your site:

 

2. NEW - Alternative Payment Method: Once customers are done shopping, they can proceed from the shopping cart to your payments page and then select Amazon Payments as a payment option. In this option, customers briefly leave your site to go to a co-branded Amazon Payments page where they select their payment method from those saved in their Amazon.com accounts. After the transaction, customers are returned to a confirmation page on your site.

  By offering your customers both the ways, you can facilitate Amazon customers both at the beginning and at the end of the checkout experience and thus get more value out of Checkout by Amazon integration. Learn more.
