Using Amazon Payments for Purchases on Third-Party Websites

Amazon Payments allows you to use the payment methods that you already use on Amazon.com to pay for goods and services online wherever Amazon Payments is accepted. With an Amazon Payments Account, you can make secure purchases from third-party (i.e. non-Amazon) web sites that accept Amazon Payments, without having to re-enter your payment information. Also, there is no cost to you when you make a purchase using Amazon Payments.

Getting started with Amazon Payments is easy. If you already have an Amazon.com account, an Amazon Payments Account has been automatically created for you, and will be activated when you make your first payment on any third-party Web site that accepts Amazon Payments. This account is linked to your Amazon.com account, and you are able to use the credit cards associated with your Amazon.com account right away. You can enhance your Amazon Payments Personal Account to make payments with your bank account or to receive payments from other Amazon Payments Account holders. Learn more about the different Amazon Payments Account types.

Amazon Payments keeps your financial information private from sellers, and you are not required to disclose your financial information stored in your Amazon.com account when you make a purchase. Amazon Payments provides you with the same trusted payment experience available on Amazon today, leveraging proven fraud detection and risk management capabilities.
