There's been a number of questions in this thread about Amazon killing off a payment product. Here's an excerpt from the email I got from them back in October:
"We want to let you know that we are retiring the payment processing features of FPS as we transition to our new solution, Login and Pay with Amazon. FPS will not be available for processing payments after June 01, 2015."
FPS = Flexible Payments Service.
I've been using it on one of my sites. Yes, it's extremely annoying that they're killing it off.
- leeoniya 12y agothis really sucks. they're pushing everyone towards the widgets-only page-integrated checkout process "Login and Pay with Amazon". the problem here is that it kills the uniformity on our site. paypal has a leave-to-login & come-back-with-token process if you need auth-only charging or physical goods. we prefer this because our UI is the same for all payment methods, including paypal, our own processor and amazon.
- ComputerGuru 12y agoLook at Amazon Simple Pay. That's what we've been using in lieu of FPS for the past few years, the process is identical to PayPal with regards to the checkout experience and integration, and it doesn't seem to be discontinued (yet).
- leeoniya 12y agotheir Simple Pay guides point to FPS functions for "advanced" usage. do you auth first and capture on shipment without relying on FPS functions (or widget checkout)? https://amazonpayments.s3.amazonaws.com/FPS_ASP_Guides/ASP_Getting_Started_Guide.pdf https://amazonpayments.s3.amazonaws.com/FPS_ASP_Guides/ASP_G... https://amazonpayments.s3.amazonaws.com/FPS_ASP_Guides/ASP_Advanced_Users_Guide.pdf https://amazonpayments.s3.amazonaws.com/FPS_ASP_Guides/ASP_A...
