Amazon Pay

Amazon Pay is a global digital wallet paving the way for your brand to gain visibility and access to millions of existing Amazon customers.

This payment method boasts a highly secure and seamless checkout experience, leveraging saved shipping and payment information in the shopper's Amazon account. As a result, the shopper can complete their transactions in 3 simple clicks and almost twice as fast as other payment options.

How it works

Digital River supports Amazon Pay's Express Checkout flow. Amazon Pay's Express Checkout uses an express checkout payment flow. The shopper clicks the Amazon Pay Checkout button at checkout, and then they sign in to Amazon Pay to authorize payment and complete their purchase.

Digital River accepts the shopper's billing and shipping addresses from the shopper's Amazon account and populates the checkout or order confirmation page with that information.

The following Amazon Pay flow represents how your shoppers experience the payment process.

  1. The shopper adds the product to the shopping cart.

  2. The shopper clicks the Amazon Pay button.

  3. The shopper is redirected to Amazon Pay to sign in and select the shipping address (if required) and payment method.

  4. The shopper signs in to Amazon Pay, selects a payment method such as a credit card, and provides their shipping address.

  5. The shopper clicks the Submit button to place the order. Note: You can get an order by its identifier to check the state of the order.

  6. The shopper gets a second redirect to the Amazon Pay - Spinning page or Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) page. (Amazon Pay determines if the transaction requires MFA.) Based on the order state and session state, the shopper lands on the Thank You or Order Failed pages.
