About Amazon Pay

Amazon Pay lets customers check out using the payment and shipping details already stored in their Amazon account, reducing friction for the 300M+ Amazon users.

What Amazon Pay supports

Let buyers pay with the payment methods and addresses in their Amazon account (Checkout v2).

• Payment methods: Cards saved to the customer's Amazon account
• Where it works: US, UK, Germany, Japan, India and more
• Billing: one-off payments
• Price: free for every PremiumPress member

Setting up Amazon Pay in PremiumPress

Activate the free plugin, then open your theme’s payment settings and add your Amazon Pay credentials:

• Region
• Merchant ID — Seller Central → Integration → MWS Access Key (your Merchant/Seller ID).
• Store ID — The Amazon Pay client/store ID (amzn1.application-oa2-client.…).
• Public Key ID — The Public Key ID issued when you uploaded your public key in Seller Central.
• Private key (PEM) — Paste the RSA private key (PEM) that pairs with your uploaded public key. Used to sign API requests.

One-time card charges via Amazon Pay Checkout v2. The buyer launches Amazon Pay from its JS button, so this needs the button snippet added to the launch page (see plugin TODO). Recurring “charge permissions” are supported by Amazon Pay but not wired in this flow. The plugin requires PremiumPress 12.
