Is anyone working on a module for Pay with Amazon for USA merchants?
Received the following from Amazon back in March:
Dear Customer,
Thank you for being a loyal Amazon Payments customer and offering Amazon buyers the ability to transact on your site using Checkout by Amazon. Over the years we have developed a differentiated Commerce Identity offering for merchants and consumers that is represented by our Pay with Amazon offering. To simplify our offerings, we will be discontinuing the Checkout by Amazon service. We will continue to focus on growing Pay with Amazon's features and capabilities. We are encouraging all Checkout by Amazon merchants to migrate to Pay with Amazon and we will support you during the process to make the transition seamless.
Please note that as a result of the transition your other Seller Central and Amazon Business accounts will not be impacted by this change. To ensure sufficient time for planning and migrating, the discontinuation of Checkout by Amazon will begin April 1, 2017. Important dates listed below:
April 1, 2017, your customers will no longer be able to place orders on your website using Checkout by Amazon (CBA).
You will have until August 1, 2017 to ship all of your orders that were placed with CBA.
On January 1, 2018, we will stop supporting CBA.
We will follow up with more details on the timeline and the best options to migrate and use Pay with Amazon. For more information you can contact us at [email protected].
They just followed up with this:
We sent a communication on March 31, 2016 requesting that all Checkout by Amazon merchants migrate to Pay with Amazon, as we will begin the discontinuation of Checkout by Amazon on April 1, 2017. To support your migration efforts we are providing more details on your options for migrating and integrating with Pay with Amazon. Please review our Migration FAQ and the chart below to help determine which integration option will work best for your website.
