Amazon Checkout Question

Post by davidroth »

With this new update released, I have a question about Amazon Checkout.

Is the customer still checking out on my site? In other words, will they be tracked through Analytics? It looked like the example that Amazon put on their website, that people are assigned an Amazon Order number.

Also, one more thing, it looks like you need to have an Amazon Seller Central account set-up. I do have that, but I'm wondering if the money is just deposited in that account now. So the only thing Amazon takes is the cc processing fee?

And finally, the receipt comes from Shopsite still right?

This is a very timely question. In addition, will Shopsite provide a working example so we can see it in action.

Thanks

Yes

The shopper will go through the normal set of cgis to check out, order->billing->thankyou. So Analytics should be able to track the order.

They are assigned an Amazon order number and a ShopSite order number

Yes. The merchant needs to link their Amazon account with their bank account somewhere in the seller central (not sure where)

They take the same fees as PayPal & Google Checkout

Shoppers will get two receipts, one from Amazon and one from ShopSite.
