Payment Processing
Our payments integrations allow retailers to optimize for desired shopper experience, speed of deployment, ease of management, and level of integration to match business needs.
Amazon has pre-integrated with selected payment facilitators and offers two options for payment integrations.
The first is a payment service which allows retailers the ability to determine the orchestration of payment calls, ie. Adjust, Capture, Cancel.
The second service delegates the payment orchestration to Amazon while still allowing you to use your preferred payment processor through the use of a Checkout API.
With both options Amazon is not in the funds flow. The relationship is directly between the payment processor and the customer.
Considerations
Based on the desired post purchase experience, customers chose between Amazon vending the receipt and receipt lookup experience vs the customer integrating with their current receipt processes.
Depending on the customer business strategy regarding shopper insufficient funds, the customer can capture partial payment by leveraging the payment service.
