Amazon Pay third-party integration
As of August 6, 2024, the Amazon Pay third-party integration is no longer supported for regions outside of Japan. If your store is in the United States, then you can offer Amazon Pay with Shopify Payments.
Depending on your store's Shopify plan and your region, if you're using the Amazon Pay third-party integration, then transactions processed through Amazon Pay might be subject to third-party transaction fees. Additionally, Buy with Prime isn't compatible with the Amazon Pay third-party integration.
When using the third-party integration, you get paid by Amazon instead of through Shopify Payments.
