Overview: Amazon Payments Login and Pay with Vindicia Subscribe 6.0+
Vindicia Subscribe supports Amazon Payments’ Login and Pay with Amazon payment method for both one-time and recurring payment transactions. Unlike credit cards and most other electronic pay methods, this payment option requires an initial interaction for approval by the subscriber using web-page widgets provided to your front-end buy flow by Amazon. This article provides details for supplementing the standard Amazon integration instructions with the use of Vindicia Subscribe API methods to permit the use of this payment option with commerce managed using Vindicia Subscribe. Use these instructions together with the integration guides provided to Sellers by Amazon Payments, described in the following table:Feature Summary
After an initial subscriber approval at the point of purchase, this payment method can be used without further subscriber interaction for recurring Subscription payments as well as one-time transactions resulting from immediate updates (upgrades, modifications, and so on) as well as subsequent stand-alone one-time purchases. To provide the greatest flexibility in the employment of the Login and Pay with Amazon features, Vindicia has designed its integration to work in conjunction with Amazon’s with minimal changes to the suggested approaches.-
To offer this payment method with Vindicia Subscribe managed commerce, Vindicia API methods are substituted at the end of the buy process, replacing the Place Order and Confirm Order steps of the suggested flows.
- In this manner, both the Login with… and Guest Pay with… options remain available.
- Off Amazon API methods can be optionally minimized or avoided altogether unless shipping fees are calculated based on the shipping address stored within Amazon.
- Refunds, when needed, are processed using Vindicia Subscribe’s standard API or portal approaches.
- Limited billing address information is available from Amazon without special consideration.
