Amazon Pay fees

Transaction fees

Amazon Pay fees are transaction-based and have a processing and authorization component. The transaction fee is composed of a domestic processing fee and an authorization fee, plus tax where applicable, charged when the purchase is successfully authorized and processed.

Authorization fee

The $0.30 authorization fee, included in the total transaction fee described above, will be collected when the transaction is successfully processed or when a successful authorization that has not been captured is closed or expires.

Cross-border processing fee

If you receive payment from a payment method issued outside of the U.S., we will collect a cross-border processing fee and the authorization fee described above, plus tax where applicable. The cross-border processing fee is charged only when the transaction is captured. For example, if the customer's credit card was issued outside of the U.S., the cross-border fee will be applied to your transaction.

Refunds of transaction fees

If a refund takes place, you will also be refunded the following transaction fees, as applicable:

  • The domestic processing fee (for example, the 2.9% fee)
  • The cross-border processing fee (for example, the 3.9% fee)

Note that the Authorization fee and Disputed chargeback fee are non-refundable.
