Setup Amazon Payments for Woocommerce
This document explains the necessary steps to offer Amazon Payments on your website. You will need to
create an Amazon Payments account and enter your Merchant ID and MWS access keys within the
Woocommerce admin area.
1. Register for an Amazon Payments account using the following link:
United Kingdom : https://payments.amazon.co.uk/business/pre-registration-api
Germany : https://payments.amazon.de/business/pre-registration-api
We recommend using a separate email login to your personal Amazon shopping account or Amazon
Marketplace account (if you have one).
Please have the following ready before you begin:
Business information ➤ Business name, category, sales volume, company registration and ownership information. ➤ Place of establishment address. This must be in the United Kingdom, Germany or Luxembourg. ➤ VAT registration details if applicable
Personal information for yourself as well as all business owners ➤ Full name ➤ Date and place of birth ➤ Country of citizenship ➤ Residential address ➤ Passport or National Identity card (to be entered later through Seller Central)
In addition, you will need: ➤ A U.K. or internationally chargeable credit card with a valid billing address. ➤ A phone number where you can be reached during this registration process.
2. Start your registration
At the moment you cannot add your Advanced Payments APIs account to an existing Amazon merchant
account. You have to register a new account specifically for the Advanced Payments APIs
➤ If you see the link “Would you like to create a new account using a different e-mail address? Click here”,
please do so. ➤ Enter a name for your business. In case this name is already taken, please choose a different one. ➤ Enter an email address and a password. You should choose an email address that will be read directly by
the people responsible for the Amazon Payments integration. You should avoid general addresses like “info@”
that are only forwarded to the general administration.

➤ Please fill in all requested information about your seller account, your contact information and your bank
account or credit card data. ➤ Please provide exact and accurate data. All information you provide will be verified by Amazon Payments,
and incorrect information will delay the verification process.

➤ After providing all information there will be an identity check on the phone, where you will be asked to enter
a PIN.
➤ Once your account is registered you will be forwarded to your Seller Central account. ➤ Please be aware that you cannot fully use your account yet. First you have to provide your more data, and
only then can the account go through the verification process (mandatory as per EU regulations).
3. Verifying your account in Seller Central
Once registered, you need to verify your account by logging into Seller Central:

➤ Using your email and password created in step 2 ➤ Ensure you are in the Amazon Payments - Production View using the dropdown box in the top
right of the page.
➤ Navigate to “Settings” > “Account Information” or use the alert link from the home page.

6. Configuring Amazon Payments in your store admin section once your account has passed
Verification:
6.1 – Install the plugin
Download the plugin that you will find at this address http://www.woothemes.com/products/amazon-
payments-advanced/
To do so, simply click “Add to Cart” and proceed to checkout. The plugin is free so you won’t be charged
anything.
Once downloaded unzip and upload the plugin’s folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory. You can use your
favourite FTP client to do that.

Connect to your store WordPress administration. This is usually accessed by adding “/wp-admin/” to your store
URL. For instance: http://www.superstore.com/wp-admin/
Go to the plugins page and activate “WooCommerce Amazon Payments Advanced Gateway”
Next go to “Woocommerce” – “Settings” and make sure that the base location is either US, UK or DE

banner announcing the introduction of Amazon Payments on your website. Letting customers know about
Amazon Payments as early as possible in the shopping process can help increase conversion and reduce cart
abandonment.
