Overview

Pay with Amazon

System requirements and installation

See Pay with Amazon module installation.

Getting started

  1. Register for Amazon Payments Advanced service.
    Amazon Payments Advanced is an Amazon service that is separate from Checkout by Amazon (CBA) solution. That means you’ll need to go through a registration process, even if you have an existing CBA account.
    You can register for Amazon Payments Advanced using this link: Get started now >

  2. Log in to Amazon's Seller Central at https://sellercentral.amazon.com to complete a few extra steps. If you’ve registered for multiple Amazon services, you’ll see a dropdown at the top of the page that lets you move between the different services.

  3. Create a test account to use in Sandbox mode.
    Select "Amazon Payments Advanced (Sandbox View)" from the drop-down box at the top of the screen. Under "Integration" -> "Test Accounts", you can create test accounts for use in Sandbox mode. Sandbox mode can be used to make test purchases without processing an actual payment.

  4. Set up your account
    Select "Amazon Payments Advanced (Production View)" from the drop-down box at the top of the screen. You’ll need to complete a tax interview and set up your bank account, even if you’ve already done so for an existing account. You’ll see a message and links to complete these steps on your home page when you switch to the Production View.

  5. Get your account keys. You will need to copy them from Seller Central and paste them into X-Cart on the Pay with Amazon module configuration page.
    • Under "Settings" -> "Integration Settings":
    • Your Merchant ID

    • Note: If you do not see your keys, you'll need to create new ones, which you do by clicking the link under "Create MWS Account":
    • Log in using your Seller Central account.
    • Select the "I want to access my own Amazon seller account with MWS" option.
    • Accept the licence agreement.
    • Your keys will be set up in your account, you can ignore the IDs you see on the final page.
    • Go back to Seller Central (http://sellercentral.amazon.com) to the "MWS Access Key" page to see the keys you'll need to configure into the module.
  6. In your X-Cart store, go to the Pay with Amazon module configuration page and configure the module.
  7. If you haven't yet done so, enable (activate) the Pay with Amazon module in your X-Cart store:


Activating and deactivating the module

If the module Pay with Amazon is installed, but not active, you can enable (activate) it.

To enable the module:

  3. Click Apply changes. The module will be enabled.

It is possible to temporarily disable (deactivate) the installed Pay with Amazon module. Deactivation stops the module from operation, but it does not remove any settings you made to the module configuration nor clear any data that was generated during the period that the module was in operation. If you wish to completely remove all the data related to using the module, you need to uninstall it. See Uninstallation for more info.

To disable the module:
