Add the Amazon Pay Button

[Step 2 of 7] The Amazon Pay checkout experience starts when the buyer clicks on the Amazon Pay button. Unlike the one-time checkout flow, the buyer will complete checkout on the Amazon Pay Buy Now hosted checkout page after clicking on the Amazon Pay button.

In this step, you will configure the Amazon Pay Checkout Session object and then render the Amazon Pay button. At the end of this step, you will be able to redirect the buyer to the Amazon Pay single page checkout where they can select their preferred shipping address and payment instrument.

The buyer will be able to review and change shipping options and review order details and complete checkout on this page.

You must add the domains where the Amazon Pay button will be rendered to Seller Central. See Add domains to Seller Central for more information.


1. Add the Amazon Pay script

Add the Amazon Pay script to your HTML file. Be sure you select the correct region.

<script src="https://static-na.payments-amazon.com/checkout.js"></script>
<script src="https://static-eu.payments-amazon.com/checkout.js"></script>
<script src="https://static-fe.payments-amazon.com/checkout.js"></script>

2. Generate the Create Checkout Session payload

To render the Amazon Pay button, you will need to provide a payload that Amazon Pay will use to to start customers checkout.

The payload has the same structure as the request body for the Create Checkout Session API. Providing the payload as part of the button removes the need to call this API. In the payload, you must provide all details required for the buyer to complete checkout. As the major difference to the one-time integration, you will not need to pass webCheckoutDetails, as the experience will now remain in-context.

Instructions for generating button payload:

  • Specify the buyer information you need to complete checkout using the scopes parameter. If you do not set this value, all buyer information except billing address will be requested as part of onInitCheckout callback.
  • For EU/UK region: If you need to collect additional info from the buyer, you can request BuyerAdditionalInfo by specifying the matching scopes parameter. Once requested, the buyer has to provide the data before completing checkout. The info will be shared as part of the onCompleteCheckout callback (coming soon).

3. Render the button

Use the values from the previous step to render the Amazon Pay button to a HTML container element. The button will be responsive and it will inherit the size of the container element, see responsive button logic for details.

The code below will initiate Amazon Pay checkout immediately on button click. Event handlers need to be registered and defined in the button JavaScript code, to receive and communicate cart-level details to Amazon Pay that will be rendered on the checkout page. The implementation of the event handlers are detailed in the step Provide Event Handlers.
