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:

https://sellercentral-europe.amazon.com/gp/homepage.html

➤ 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.



3.1 – Primary contact information

You will be required to enter the main contact person details at this stage. Scroll down to “Primary Contact

Person Information” and select the Edit button. ID details will be required for all company owners who own

more than 25% of the business.

3.2 – Beneficial owner Information

You will be required to enter beneficial owner information and ID information at this stage. Scroll down to

“Beneficial Owner Information” and select the Edit button. Details will be required for all company owners who

own more than 25% of the business.

3.3 – Enter Bank Account details

To enable funds transfer, you will need to add bank details in Seller Central. Within the Account information

page, scroll down to “Deposit Method” and select “Add”. From the Global Bank Account Information page,

please add: ➤ Bank Name, Sort Code & Account Number (or new IBAN / BIC format) ➤ Bank Account holders Name

3.4 – Additional information

Your Amazon Payments account will then be submitted for review. During the review process it may be

necessary to provide additional information such as recent utility bill or Articles of Association.

4. Finding your Merchant ID

This step can be done while the account is pending business verification.

4.1 – Select Settings > Integration Settings, provide merchant ID in your Woocommerce store backend



5. Creating your MWS access keys

This step can be done while the account is pending business verification.

5.1 – Select Integration > MWS Access Keys



5.2 – Select “access own Amazon Seller account with MWS” and accept the Amazon MWS license.

Here are the MWS access keys you should enter into your Woocommerce Store back end (see step 6.1):



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.

6.2 – Configure Amazon Payments on your shop

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



Finally configure the plugin by going to “Checkout” – “Amazon Payments” and enter your merchant ID and keys

that you obtained previously from Seller Central.



6.3 – Amazon Payments Logo Placement:

Include the Amazon Payments logo on your website wherever you feature payment providers as well as a

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.

To do so, please follow guidelines available here:
