Introduction

The Additional Payment Button (APB) can be used for one-time transactions at the end of your checkout flow. It provides a better user experience as APB is typically added at the step where the buyer selects their payment method before completing checkout. Unlike the standard one-time integration, the buyer will not have the opportunity to return to your site to review their order before completing checkout after clicking on the Amazon Pay button, enabling this way express checkout for Amazon Pay. Once landed on Amazon Pay hosted page, the buyer can select the preferred payment instrument, review the order and complete checkout.

Integration steps

The steps required to to integrate and display the Additional Payment Button (APB) are less compared to standard Amazon Pay button. Main differences when considering rendering and displaying APB are explained in the below section:

  • you will skip genericpayment for creating checkout session & button signature. Instead, you will directly submit Pre-/Authorization request and get APB Payload and signature in response. Use the APB Payload and signature to render the Amazon Pay Button using amazon.Pay.renderButton() script.
  • you will set payment information ("checkout mode" and "product type") in your Pre-/Authorization request
  • you will skip displaying shipping/payment info since the buyer will complete checkout on the Amazon Pay hosted page after clicking on the Amazon Pay button
  • you will skip the step for sending order/amount updates
  • since the Additional Pay Button is at the end of checkout after buyer has already manually entered their shipping address, you must provide that information in request for all physical goods transactions. Providing address information for digital goods transactions will result in an error.

API Requests

As the additional payment button is rendered at the last step of your checkout where the shipping address has already been collected, the API requests/response are slightly different from the standard Amazon Pay CV2 integration.

Reservation with APB
Pre-/Authorization request
Use the pre-/authorization request to retrieve the payload needed to render the APB. Shipping address along with add_paydata[checkoutMode] and add_paydata[productType] are required for APB as illustrated in the section "Additional data for the Additional Payment Button" of the request.

The customer will be redirected to Amazon Pay hosted pages to complete the payment processing. Here you can set the standard successurl/errorurl/backurl.
