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.

Amazon requires that you remove or hide the Edit buttons or links for the billing and shipping addresses on the order confirmation page because Amazon maintains that information. Digital River cannot update an Amazon shopper's billing and shipping information. If needed, the shopper can also update their Amazon account's shipping and billing addresses before completing actions on Amazon Pay.

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

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.
