Over the past few months WooThemes has worked with Amazon to bring you the very exciting Amazon Pay for WooCommerce. As many of you would have followed last month WooThemes had to make some difficult business decisions which led to the price increase of our WooCommerce extensions. So it is with great excitement that we announce that Amazon Pay will be FREE for a limited time.
Now, it’s easy to add the Amazon Pay extension to allow hundreds of millions of Amazon customers frictionless shopping. It’s fast, easy and secure for customers who want to buy online. This new extension for Amazon Pay is free and easy to set up, so merchants can start accepting payments quickly and affordably (Learn more).
Amazon Pay is embedded directly into your existing WooCommerce-powered site, and all the buyer interactions with Amazon Pay take place in embedded widgets so that the buyer never leaves your site. Buyers can login using their Amazon account, select a shipping address and payment method, and then confirm their order. Leverage the trust of Amazon to grow your business. It’s easy, get started now.
Here are a few key features that we are confident you will love.
Trusted by Customers
Make Amazon’s customers your customers with a simpler way to pay. Capture sales you might otherwise miss from buyers who are reluctant to enter their credit card information.
Mobile-ready
Let your customers buy easily on their phone. Offer them a hassle-free way to pay on smartphones and tablets with no extra set-up for you.
Affordable Pricing & No Add-On Fees, Period.
This one goes out to our WooThemes customers! We hope you enjoy this amazing free extension and reap the benefits of using Amazon Pay as your primary or secondary Payment Gateway. WooThemes is dedicated to working towards developing key partnerships aimed at giving back to our amazing customers. So watch this space carefully for more incredible offers. 🙂

About
So do you download this extension from Amazon guys or from your store? I tried here but maybe I am in the wrong place: http://woocommerce.com/products/amazon-payments-advanced/ maybe I get it through the amazon dashboard?
Hey, thanks for the comment. The link you tried is correct. Once you are there just click ‘add to cart’ and proceed to checkout. The item will be added to your ‘Download Your Products’ in your user profile on WooThemes.com.
Thanks Joel, il give it a try now, looks like a nice payment option.
Excellent. Let us know how it goes.
I knew it eh! 🙁
sorry – I wanted to reply on another post
Is this for Amazon.com only? I can’t find any mention of Amazon Payments Advanced on the UK site https://payments.amazon.co.uk/
Hi Jon. Unfortunately this PG is only available in the US currently.
I knew it eh! 🙁
Looking forward to this functionality to become available to little known countries to the north of the USA
Cheers

Hey Joel,
How would this extension work with the Paypal Advanced Extension? I would love for my customers to have a choice but the FAQ in the documentation tells me this might not work.
Will this gateway work with X extension which modifies the WooCommerce checkout page?
Generally, no. Amazon Payments Advanced uses its own forms for payment and shipping, so plugins which add or modify WC checkout may not work in these cases.
Was my question not as important as naweedshams or Deans?
Sorry we missed your question, shoot us an email (via our contact page) and we can put you in touch with someone who can answer precisely.
Not available to UK sellers 🙁
Not yet, unfortunately.
Doesn’t say anything about being US only on extension page?
Also doesn’t say anything about needing a SSL, but just read elsewhere it does?
Be annoyed if both the above are needed. Put a lot of time into setting it up so far.
Okay so it is US only and looks like it does need a SSL certificate. Where was the notification at the top of the extension page?
I have wasted so much time with this extension now.
Hey Dean,
It is US Only. We will make that more clear on our product page but it is mentioned on Amazon’s site if you follow the link. As for security SSL isn’t strictly required for the new plugin.
There are some extensions that claim to work for Amazon Payments Standard in the UK.
Here’s a link to one – note it has zero reviews so I have no idea whether it’s any good.

Hi,
Is there no multi-site license for this?
Thanks
great information……
Joel
I am using this Extension and I am having issues after the payment had been processed. IT is supose to return to Domain.com/checkout/order-received, but it is trying to go to
domain.com/checkout/order-received/?order=2600&key=order_52364fd7699e8
instead, and that is showing just a black page.
Any ideas or what could the issue be?
Thanks

When I input all the details in the plugin and click save, it refreshes and doesn’t save any of the information.
Hi Joel. I’m signed up to the https://sellercentral-europe.amazon.com Europe (inc UK) based site and nothing on there says that Amazon Checkout is limited only to the UK. Is it just that the WooThemes team haven’t had a chance to update the plugin for the UK yet? I’m very sure you’re a busy team – just trying to work out if it’s an Amazon limitation or WooThemes at the moment as bit confused right now.
Thanks in advance
Gareth
I got the plug in.. signed up for amazon advance .. plug in not working.. purchase ssl certificate and dedicated IP.. still nothing

On Check out says Have an Amazon account? but it doesn’t have a link or a button to go to amazon…
🙁
Hi All,
such a shame it doesn’t seem to be supported in the UK still!!
Any news on when this happens? Why is it taking so long?

Can you please confirm that this has Fulfilment By Amazon integration as well in that it will work out the correct shipping options too?
