Amazon Pay FAQ

What is Amazon Pay?

Amazon Pay is a service that lets you use the payment methods already associated with your Amazon account to make payments for goods or services on third-party websites. To make a payment, you can use any of the payment methods on file in your Amazon account.

How do I sign up?

If you already have an account with Amazon, you only have to accept our Terms of use when making a purchase on a non-Amazon site that accepts Amazon Pay. There is no separate registration process.

Am I protected when I use Amazon Pay?

If there are ever unauthorised Amazon Pay charges in your personal account, you can dispute the charge with us. You must notify us as quickly as possible and no later than 13 months after the date of the transaction. Unless you have acted fraudulently or with negligence, you may not be held responsible for the charge. When you use Amazon Pay for qualified purchases on third-party websites, the condition of the item that you buy and its timely delivery may be guaranteed under the Amazon A-to-z Guarantee for Buyers. If you submit payment for a product or service and you do not receive the item or if it is materially different than advertised by the merchant, you can dispute the transaction and request reimbursement. See Buyer Dispute program for more information.

To learn more about how to file a dispute for Amazon Pay transactions, also refer to the Transaction disputes page.

Is my payment information shared with anyone?

We do not share your payment method information with merchants who accept Amazon Pay on their website. You do not need to disclose your payment information to others when you use Amazon Pay. Because your Amazon Pay transactions are linked to your Amazon account, any changes you make to payment methods on the Amazon Pay website will appear on your Amazon account (and vice versa).

What payment methods can be used with Amazon Pay?

Any of the payment methods available in your Amazon account can be used with Amazon Pay. Note that Amazon.co.uk gift cards entered into your Amazon account cannot be used when making purchases with Amazon Pay on third-party websites.

What does it cost me to use Amazon Pay?

It costs you nothing. Using Amazon Pay adds no fees to your transaction with the merchant. Your purchase incurs no transaction fee, no membership fee, no currency conversion fee, no foreign transaction fee, and no other fees. Your card issuer, however, may add a foreign transaction fee if your card was issued in a country different from the merchant's, as well as any other fees described in the terms and conditions for your card.

How do I change my account information?

You can manage most aspects of your Amazon account for Amazon Pay on Amazon.co.uk. Go to http://www.amazon.co.uk, sign in, and then click Your Account. Other changes must be made on the Amazon Pay website.

For detailed information about the information that can be changed and where to change it, see Making changes to your Amazon account information for Amazon Pay.

How do I make a payment?
