Make it easy for yourself: quickly find the right payment provider to offer Amazon Pay in your checkout.

Amazon Pay was launched in 2007 by Amazon as an extension of their platform, with the aim of offering a fast and trusted payment experience outside of Amazon itself. With Amazon Pay, customers can pay in webshops using their existing Amazon account, including stored payment methods and delivery addresses.

The service is available in several countries, including the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, the UK and the US. Amazon Pay has millions of users worldwide, mainly frequent Amazon customers who value convenience and speed.

Customers select Amazon Pay at checkout and log in with their Amazon account. They don't need to enter their address or payment details, as these are already stored in their profile. This makes the payment flow faster, easier and more secure – especially on mobile devices. For businesses, Amazon Pay is particularly attractive because of the trusted brand and higher conversion rates among customers who are already familiar with Amazon's ease of use.

Transaction fees for Amazon Pay average between 1.5% and 2.9% per payment, plus a fixed fee per transaction (e.g. £0.35). The exact costs depend on your country, turnover and the type of products or services you sell. Use ourfree provider selector for payment providers to find PSPs that support Amazon Pay and compare rates or request quotes.

Most Amazon Pay integrations are done through your Payment Service Provider or directly through Amazon itself. For platforms such as Shopify, WooCommerce and Magento, most PSPs have plugins available. Do you have a custom website or application? Then an API integration is possible. Amazon Pay can be easily combined with other payment methods such as iDEAL, PayPal and credit cards.

Not every PSP supports Amazon Pay, but parties such as Mollie, Adyen and Stripe offer integrations or facilitate it via a link. Check via ourfree provider selector who offers Amazon Pay and connects to your platform and requirements.

Advantages of Amazon Pay

1. Trusted brand for customers worldwide
Amazon is one of the most well-known brands in the world. Customers who already have an Amazon account (and there are many!) trust the payment method, which removes barriers at checkout.

2. Fast and streamlined checkout
With Amazon Pay, your customer does not need to enter their address or payment details. Everything is already known to Amazon (if the shopper has an account there), which speeds up the order completion process – especially on mobile devices, where it acts as a conversion booster.

3. Extra convenience for regular Amazon users
Customers who regularly buy via Amazon recognise the flow and feel comfortable. This increases the likelihood that they will also complete their payment at your webshop.

4. Available in multiple countries
Amazon Pay is active in Europe, the UK, the US and other markets. This makes it a good addition for online stores that sell internationally and want to offer a consistent payment experience.

Disadvantages of Amazon Pay

1. Only usable for Amazon users
Although Amazon is huge worldwide, you still need an Amazon account to use Amazon Pay. Not every customer has or wants one, so you should always offer alternatives.

2. Higher transaction fees than local methods
Amazon Pay is relatively expensive compared to methods such as iDEAL or Bancontact. This can be particularly burdensome for webshops with low margins or many small transactions.

3. Limited PSP support
Not all Payment Service Providers offer Amazon Pay. This means you have a more limited choice of PSPs or need to take separate technical steps for integration.

4. Less suitable for subscriptions
Amazon Pay does not support a standard solution for automatic recurring payments. Credit cards or SEPA Direct Debit are generally more suitable for subscriptions.
