Introduction to Amazon Simple Pay

This section introduces Amazon Simple Pay and gives an overview of how the system operates.

Overview of Amazon Simple Pay

Amazon Simple Pay is a set of basic payment-only products. Using online Amazon Simple Pay forms you can create fully-functional payment buttons, which you then add to your web page. These buttons allow your customers to use their Amazon.com accounts as a payment method for purchasing products and services from you. When customers click one of your Amazon Simple Pay buttons, they begin making a secure payment.

The Amazon Simple Pay Getting Started Guide details the processes and procedures involved to make use of Amazon Simple Pay's standard features without needing to write any code. In contrast, the Amazon Simple Pay Advanced User Guide concentrates on the advanced features available to you when you decide that your application calls for custom code. If you don't need to write code, but do want to make use of the basic features of Amazon Simple Pay, you should refer to the Amazon Simple Pay Getting Started Guide.
