What is Amazon Pay?

Amazon Pay is a service offered to Amazon customers, and you are enabled to use it wherever you see it — whether that is clicking the Amazon Pay button when checking out on your favorite online stores or managing your payment methods in your account on Amazon.com. There are no additional sign-ups or sign-ins. Your transactions are safe and secure, and everything can be tracked in your Amazon account.

If you have an Amazon account, you are ready to start using Amazon Pay wherever you see the Amazon Pay button. No additional registration is necessary, which means you don’t need to create a new account or remember old passwords. Amazon Pay simply uses the information and payment methods stored in your Amazon account. That also includes your address book, so you’ll always have Grandmom’s address handy no matter where you shop.

Amazon Pay is the way to check out quickly and securely online, and your eligible purchases of physical goods are protected by our A-to-z Guarantee. Breeze through checkout using the information already stored in your Amazon account.

Go to pay.amazon.com and sign in as a “shopper” using your Amazon username and password. One-time purchases are shown on the “Activity” tab, and subscription agreements are on the “Merchant agreements” tab. You can also view your transactions on Amazon.com. If you are on a desktop, your Amazon Pay transactions can be found under “Amazon Orders” within the Amazon Pay tab or in “Your Account” under “Transactions”. If you are in the Amazon app, all transactions are listed together under “Your Orders” or in “Your Account”.

We don’t share your full credit card, debit card, or bank account number with merchants or charitable organizations who accept Amazon Pay. We do share your full card or bank account number with payment processors, however, to process the transaction on behalf of the merchant. We also share with the merchant the payment information that is required to complete and support your transaction, which may include the last four digits of your card number and the card type.

It costs nothing. Using Amazon Pay does not add fees to your purchases on sites and organizations accepting Amazon Pay. We do not add transaction fees, membership fees, currency conversion fees, foreign transaction fees, or any other fees. Your card issuer, however, may add a foreign transaction fee if your card was issued in a country different from the site on which you are shopping, as well as any other fees described in the terms and conditions for your card.

Sites offering Amazon Pay ship their own orders to you. Also, you can enable Alexa Delivery Notifications through participating merchants to get package tracking alerts. If you think there may be a problem with your order, contact the site or organization to address the problem. When you use Amazon Pay to check out, your purchases are covered by Amazon Pay’s A-to-z Guarantee.

For a partial list of websites that accept Amazon Pay, see the For Shoppers section of our website. Is the Amazon Pay button not showing as a payment option in your favorite online stores? Let’s make it happen! You can simply email the store or call them with your suggestion to start enjoying the freedom of a checkout experience you know and trust.
