==Obtaining an Amazon Payments Account==
 
 
If you have not registered an account with Amazon yet, you should do it before you start setting up Amazon Simple Pay in X-Cart. Amazon Payments uses your Amazon.com account to identify you. You may sign in using your existing Amazon account or you can create a new account. To open an account, go to [https://www.amazon.com/gp/aws/ssop/index.html?awscbctx=&awscbid=&awsclientauth=true&awstimeout=3600&wa=wsignin1.0&wctx=https%253A%252F%252Fpayments.amazon.com%252Fsdui%252Fsdui%252Fgetstarted%253Fsid%253De90c9df1-8d8d-4b1b-ae3a-30071441ce0a--0%2526redirect%253Dtrue&wreply=https%3A%2F%2Fpayments.amazon.com%2Fsdui%2Fsdui%2FSSOPReturnAction&wtrealm=urn%3Aaws%3AawsAccessKeyId%3A12727SZQHQP0PBHR5J02&awssig=7PLKYzfu%2B6s9F427ROvRGK4V%2BjE%3D Amazon Payments website] and follow the instructions on the screen. After you have registered an account, you can set up Amazon Simple Pay in the X-Cart Admin area.
 
 
To sign up you will need to have:
 
 
* Your business name, contact information, and credit card
 
* US billing address
 
 
== Setting up Amazon Simple Pay ==
 
 
To use Amazon Simple Pay as one of the payment options in the store:
 
 
# Log in to the X-Cart Admin area.
 
# Go to the <u>Payment methods</u> section (Settings menu -> Payment methods) and scroll down to the <u>Payment gateways</u> form.
 
# Select Amazon Simple Pay from the drop-down list and click the '''Add''' button.<br><br>[[Image:Amazon_simple_pay1.gif|border|center]]<br><br>After you have clicked '''Add''', Amazon Simple Pay will be added to the list of the available payment methods.<br><br>[[Image:Amazon_simple_pay2.gif|center|border]]<br><br>
 
# Click on the <u>Configure</u> link. This opens the configuration page for Amazon Simple Pay.<br><br>[[Image:Amazon_simple_pay3.gif|center|border]]<br><br>
 
# Adjust the configuration settings for Amazon Simple Pay:
 
#* <u>AWS Access Key ID</u>: Enter your AWS Access Key ID (a string distributed by Amazon that uniquely identifies a merchant).
 
#* <u>AWS Secret Access Key</u>: Enter your AWS Secret Access Key (this key plays the role of password).
 
#* <u>Amazon Payments Account ID</u>: Enter your Amazon Payments Account ID.
 
#* <u>Collect Shipping Address</u>: Select this check box if you want Amazon to send the customer's shipping address to X-Cart. If the customer already has a default shipping address set up on Amazon.com or any of the international Amazon retail sites, then the customer is not prompted for the shipping/mailing address. The customer can, however, have the option of changing the shipping/mailing address on the payment authorization confirmation page. If the customer does not have a default shipping address set up, he or she is prompted to choose one from the shipping addresses already on file with Amazon, or enter a new one. If this option is disabled, then no shipping/ mailing address will be returned to X-Cart and the customer will not be prompted for one either.
 
#* <u>Test/Live mode</u>: Select whether you wish to use your Sandbox account (test mode) or actual Amazon Simple Pay account (live mode).
 
#* <u>Order prefix</u>: Enter a prefix that will be automatically added to the IDs of orders placed in your store and paid through Amazon Simple Pay.<br>Using a prefix ensures uniqueness of order IDs in case you have more than one online store that uses  Amazon Simple Pay as a payment option.
 
#* <u>Action to be performed on order placement</u>: Choose whether Amazon must capture money automatically (Auth and Capture) or only freeze the funds until you capture the authorized amount manually through the X-Cart Admin area (Auth only).
 
# Click the '''Update''' button to apply the changes.
 
# Return to the list of payment methods and activate Amazon Simple Pay by selecting the check box next to the gateway's name.
 
# Click the '''Update''' button.
