Enabling Amazon Pay

Note

Amazon Pay is available to merchants located in specific countries and selling in USD, GBP, JPY, and EUR. For a list of supported countries, refer to Amazon Pay supported countries.

Amazon Pay is a fast, easy, and trusted way for your customers to make purchases on your online store by using payment and shipping information stored in their Amazon accounts. You keep full control of the customer relationship, and your product-level data is never captured or shared with Amazon. Learn more about secure checkouts from Amazon Pay.

After you agree to provide your Shopify store with access to your Amazon Payments merchant account, then Amazon Pay appears as an active payment provider on the Payments page in your Shopify admin.

Note

If Amazon Pay is not displaying properly on your online store, it is likely because you have made HTML/CSS customizations to the checkout that are not supported by Amazon Pay. Contact Shopify support for more information.

Customer experience

After you activate Amazon Pay, eligible customers can select Amazon Pay during checkout. The payment process is embedded into the checkout page by default so that your customers can complete their orders without having to leave your online store.

Note

If your store's theme displays buttons for your active payment providers, then the Amazon Pay button appears on your store's cart page instead of its checkout page.

Customers who select Amazon Pay can access the shipping address and payment information stored in their Amazon account to complete their purchase with an accelerated checkout. Their billing address remains private, and is not shared with Shopify. Learn more about accelerated checkouts.
