Flow explanation

  1. It starts with Merchant site like Merchant site to choose Amazon Pay as payment method.

  2. After buyer clicks Amazon Pay button on merchant site, it follows the APB flow.


Pros and Cons

ProsCons
Keep current flow for existing buyer and add Amazon Pay at the very end of checkout process only.- For example, if merchant provides only APB to existing member buyers, such buyers lose a chance to leverage Amazon Pay shipping address forever.
- APB process flow is different from general flow and merchant needs to implement such difference in their system, which increases amount of effort.
- A buyer will complete checkout on Amazon page with APB, so if merchant’s current checkout flow requires the buyer always be redirected to merchant’s order review page, this solution won’t work.
