End of checkout placement

[Step 5 of 9] You can also add Amazon Pay to the payment selection page of your checkout as an end of checkout payment option. Unlike the express checkout flow, the buyer will provide order-related data such as the delivery address on your site instead of selecting it from the Amazon address book. You will redirect the buyer to the Amazon Pay hosted payment page once they're ready to place their order to complete the payment process.

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 an Amazon Pay hosted page where they can select their preferred payment instrument, review order details, and complete checkout.

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 create a Checkout Session object. You will use the Checkout Session object to manage the buyer’s active session on your website. 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.

Instructions for generating button payload:

  • Set webCheckoutDetails.checkoutMode to ProcessOrder.
  • Set checkoutResultReturnUrl to the URL that the buyer is redirected to after they complete checkout on the Amazon Pay hosted page. The Checkout Session ID will be appended as a query parameter to the provided URL.
  • Set paymentDetails:
    • paymentIntent - The payment action when the buyer clicks the Amazon “Pay Now” button
    • chargeAmount - Checkout amount
  • You must set addressDetails with the shipping address provided by the buyer if productType is PayAndShip. See address formatting and validation for more info on how to pass address data.
  • 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.

Optional integration steps:

  • Use merchantMetadata to associate additional order details with this transaction.
  • If you registered for Amazon Pay in the EU or UK, you can use the presentmentCurrency parameter to charge your buyer using a different supported currency. See multi-currency integration for more info.

3. Sign the payload

You must secure the payload using a signature. The payload does not include a timestamp so you can re-use the signature as long as the payload does not change. If you need to change the payload and your button signature is dynamic, you should decouple button render from checkout initialization to avoid re-rendering the button.

Option 1 (recommended): Generate a signature using the helper function provided in the Amazon Pay SDKs. The signature generated by the helper function is only valid for the button and not for API requests.

<?php
    include 'vendor/autoload.php';

    $amazonpay_config = array(
        'public_key_id' => 'MY_PUBLIC_KEY_ID',
        'private_key'   => 'keys/private.pem',
        'region'        => 'US',
        'sandbox'       => true,
        'algorithm' => 'AMZN-PAY-RSASSA-PSS-V2'
    );

    $client = new Amazon\Pay\API\Client($amazonpay_config);
    $payload = '{"storeId":"amzn1.application-oa2-client.xxxxx","webCheckoutDetails":{"checkoutResultReturnUrl":"https://example.com/review.html"}}';
    $signature = $client->generateButtonSignature($payload);
    echo $signature . "\n";
?>

Source code

var payConfiguration = new ApiConfiguration
(
    region: Region.Europe,
    environment: Environment.Sandbox,
    publicKeyId: "MY_PUBLIC_KEY_ID",
    privateKey: "PATH_OR_CONTENT_OF_MY_PRIVATE_KEY",
    algorithm: AmazonSignatureAlgorithm.V2
);

var request = new  CreateCheckoutSessionRequest
(
    checkoutResultReturnUrl: "https://example.com/review.html",
    storeId: "amzn1.application-oa2-client.xxxxx"
);

request.ChargePermissionType = ChargePermissionType.Onetime;

// generate the button signature
var signature = client.GenerateButtonSignature(request);

// the payload as JSON string that you must assign to the button in the next step
var payload = request.ToJson();

Source code

PayConfiguration payConfiguration = null;
try {
    payConfiguration = new PayConfiguration()
                .setPublicKeyId("YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY_ID")
                .setRegion(Region.YOUR_REGION_CODE)
                .setPrivateKey("YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY_STRING")
                .setEnvironment(Environment.SANDBOX)
                .setAlgorithm("AMZN-PAY-RSASSA-PSS-V2");
}catch (AmazonPayClientException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

AmazonPayClient client = new AmazonPayClient(payConfiguration);

String payload = "{\"storeId\":\"amzn1.application-oa2-client.xxxxx\",\"webCheckoutDetails\":{\"checkoutResultReturnUrl\":\"https://example.com/review.html\"}}";
String signature = client.generateButtonSignature(payload);

Source code

const fs = require('fs');
const Client = require('@amazonpay/amazon-pay-api-sdk-nodejs');

const config = {
    publicKeyId: 'ABC123DEF456XYZ',
    privateKey: fs.readFileSync('tst/private.pem'),
    region: 'us',
    sandbox: true,
    algorithm: 'AMZN-PAY-RSASSA-PSS-V2'
};

const testPayClient = new Client.AmazonPayClient(config);
const payload = {
    webCheckoutDetails: {
        checkoutResultReturnUrl: 'https://example.com/review.html'
    },
    storeId: 'amzn1.application-oa2-client.xxxxx'
};
const signature = testPayClient.generateButtonSignature(payload);

Source code

Option 2: Build the signature manually by following steps 2 and 3 of the signing requests guide.

4. Render the button

Use the values from the previous two steps 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. If you need control of the click event, you can decouple button render and checkout initiation. See Amazon Pay script for more info.
