Greetings, party people. We're excited to announce a third checkout option that we are offering as of today - Checkout by Amazon (AKA CBA).
What are the benefits of using Amazon as a checkout option? Amazon is an established brand that many buyers have already established a trusted relationship with. In talking with other ecommerce sites, those who have begun offering Amazon Checkout have found that buyers choose to checkout with Amazon as often, and in some cases, more often, than Paypal (the standard payment solution of the past).
Amazon also provides buyers the luxury of choice. Some buyers don't have Paypal accounts, and some do have Paypal accounts but prefer not to use them for various reasons. Offering Amazon is a way to diversify the options that a buyer has available, and thus, make more sales.
So how do you use it?
Go to Sell -> Add or Edit Items. Click the "Edit" button next to "Payment Types Accepted." Select "Amazon" and save. Then, the next time you click "Update Booth," you'll be asked to provide your CBA credentials. We have detailed instructions on that page as to how you can sign up for CBA, and where you can find the credentials required. For more assitance check out our help page.
Give it a try and let us know what you think! Though we may be a bit slow to answer questions with the onset of the weekend, feel free to post them below (or to support) and we'll get you answers as quickly as we're able.
I just signed up with Amazon and I can’t figure out where or how to get a merchant key! I did figure the access and secret keys out. All I’m finding is something about Amazon Marketplace Web Service with some options. Where do I get the merchant key to link to Bonanza?
Do we need to give them a callback URL for Bonanza notifications? I noticed there was a place for it under Checkout Pipeline Settings but there was no mention of it in the instructions.
Hey guys… In Firefox when you add to the cart and select Checkout by Amazon it is opening a new tab. The original tab shows: If you’re seeing this message, your browser blocked Amazon’s payment window from showing. Clicking the button will invoke Amazon Payments directly.
You may want to check and see if you make the browser window stay in the same tab like it does with Google Checkout and PayPal, rather than opening a new tab/window. Less confusing for the buyers.
Can you guys get a rep from Amazon to come here and answer some questions on the forums. There is alot of confusion about how it differs from the marketplace checkout and why so many of us can’t use accounts we already had in place.
We have detailed instructions on that page as to how you can sign up for CBA, and where you can… (continued)I did not get those!
Why is it so easy for someone else. Amazon just opened a personal account for me ??
To have a merchant, it has to be website (bonanza)Sorry, you are not an authorized Seller Central user
Thus I am denied and there should be better instructions
I;m so messed up on this, Signed up, but I think I gave the wrong merchant ID, now I can’t even figure out how to get back to what I sighed up for, because Amazon is bring up my personal account. Still can’t figure out what I should be using for merchant ID, Access key and Secret Access key. Been up too many hours, I’ll look at this tomorrow, maybe there will a better description of what I should be doing.
Got me phone call and entered my PIN. Been waiting for the confirmation email for sometime. Still trying to figure out where to find themerchant ID, Access key and Secret Access key. Can someone who successfully signed up let me know how long it took to get the email?
Outstanding idea. At least buyers have heard of Amazon and may feel more comfortable buying through Amazon Payments. Signed up and looking forward to buyer response.
Iluvmypet: agreed. Opening the new tab/window is the default behavior for CBA, but we are working to try to circumvent that behavior and keep it in the same window. We hope to have that online by early next week.
Momspennies: amazon actually has three different payment services, and the type of account needed for each varies. In particular, the account you’d use with Amazon FPS (used by Atomic Mall and some others) isn’t cross compatible with CBA. Luckily it only takes a couple minutes to set up a CBA merchant account through the link provided in the blog.
Abbys: as Jordo mentions, there is a link to a detailed help page with screenshots next to where we request those three pieces of info.
Well I got the email from Amazon this morning, used that and got the merchant ID, access code and secret access code, entered it on Bonanza, but then realized I was in Amazons Sandbox, how do I go back to the Bonanza page where I entered the information to make sure my merchant information is the same as the information that was given in the sandbox. The Boyz may think this is self evident, it may be for the experienced but, not for the novice here.
Bill, if any of this conflicts you can remove the link, but it looked correct to me.
We are not actually entering html for a button in our listings though right? I think that is for personal websites. Bonanza has integrated this into checkout through the venue, correct? Starting on Page 4, Section 1.6
It’s asking me for the integration info in order for me to receive the callback info here on bonz or it says I won’t receive sales updates regarding bonz sales through them. Otherwise I’d have to be constantly checking CBA to see if I have any sales and no notifications will be sent to bonz. Is there some kind of callback or something we need to enter there? On the pipeline settings it’s asking for this information.
If anyone can figure out how we do a test checkout to see if we’ve got it set up right, please post here. There is supposed to be a way on Amazon to check this, but I cannot figure out how.
Well, not easy. I still do not have any idea why the detailed instructions did not come up as stated. I do know why there are two pending $1 charges on my credit card-from trying to do something that resulted in a personal buying account at Amazon for which I had to send email to request cancellation I have not received since it is the weekend.
I am accredited for Visa, Mastercard and had American Express merchant accounts. Don’t you think that was harder to do then to get a bonanza access key??
There was a certain lack of direction here which made it so easy for many and impossible for others. the next time you click “Update Booth,” you’ll be asked to provide your CBA credentials. We have detailed instructions on that page
There was no such thing.
I offer Paypal for any and all buyers.
I didn’t see any instructions either, but did find this link to detailed instructions in the forums that made it a bit clearer. Once I had those instructions, I was able to complete the set up.
I was still a bit thrown off by the need for the AWS key or whatever it’s called, but it was easy to do. No matter how confusing it was initially, I’m just glad to have this extra payment option for my customers.
i’m all set ‘i think’, but what about this:
Instant Order Processing Notification Settings:
Merchant URL:
Integrator URL:
says the url’s must be https:// we’re http://
thanks guys for all u do!
Bill, sorry that the bonz is agin u soooooooo very quickly
OMG, you guys were reading my mind! I spent some time yesterday looking for Paypal alternatives after having a hard time with them on a recent transaction. I was looking at Intuit and Jack Henry, but you beat me to the punch! Thanks for offering an alternative, this is the best news!
It’s a great idea and I signed up. However, since I can’t seem to find my merchant ID information or Access ID from Amazon, it isn’t working. Furthermore I haven’t been able to update my Bonanza booth since Friday night when I took the plunge. All because I cannot come up with these important numbers. ’lil help?
I have done everything except for the API Callback URL that the Bonz instructions tell me I have to fill in with https://www.bonanza.com/offers_checkout/google_callback. The instructions show a page I cannot find. I have looked everywhere under integration. the page I get when I follow the instructions I get a totally different screen. I need help to find the right place to put this url.
After reading that bellavistaboutique got an error, I tried as a Bonanza buyer and was able to get to the Amazon checkout login page. I think I have mine set up fine, but I won’t know for sure until someone makes a purchase through Amazon checkout.
moms & tegger: You can get back to your settings by going to account settings → seller settings.
All: there is no need to setup a callback URL within Amazon. All you have to do is setup an Amazon CBA account and then provide your credentials to us.
I was speaking with Amazon on the phone about some questions I had. The guy said you all probably had to do a ton of work to get this all set up….thank you for doing this. I know it is really appreciated. I am just so happy to have another outlet for increasing sales
Question here “Yes, you can use the same credentials for multiple booths.”
Does this mean we can use the same Amazon account for 2 different booths here on Bonanza? If so, shoot, I thought by the way it was working on Amazon I had to set up 2 different accounts; one account per booth?
I just got my first sale through Amazon checkout. The transaction did not get marked as a sale here, so I put the item on reserve. Someone else just mentioned the same thing in a message thread.
Bill: Okay, I see what you mean about credentials now…the merchant ID, access code and the secret one also, is that right?
The only problem with using the one set of credentials for both booths is that when setting up the account I only saw a place for one booth URL.
It also seemed as if it automatically put that booth URL in under Pipeline settings to where a buyer would return to that booth URL if the sale was cancelled/abandoned during Amazon checkout. This is the heading under the Checkout Pipeline Settings to show what I am referring to when I say my booth URL is there… “Cancel Payment Return URL”.
I do not have my booth URL showing up anywhere else under the Pipeline Settings page. Is my booth URL supposed to be showing up anywhere else on this page? I am confused.
I too am not receiving specifics. Only the email from CBA.
I do have an email into them because my accounts seem to be mixed up somehow. And I was never able to enter the URLS for notification to come to Bonz because I lost the page and can’t get it to come up again under the pipeline setting. So Amazon doesn’t know where to send the information to Bonanza I guess.
Then I just went to the Amazon Payments page and it’s saying that I can’t use the same email addy…I’m So confused.
guess I’d better wait and see what Amazon comes back with. I hope I will be able to re-set all that information. (ETA: See Below)
I forgot to mention also that I got a sale from Amazon. I did not get notification here on My Bonanza but I got the email from Amazon to my email address that I used to sign up on there with. The buyer also did not get notification on their My Bonanza either that a purchase was made. Thank you.
Well, I’m really disappointed…after all the documentation and time I spent explaining what was going on, I got another email that was the same as the first, almost like a canned message that does nothing to help.
I’ve undone my CBA option for now too. I have no clue how to clear up the issue with the item I sold now.
Maybe once all the mystery is cleared up I will try again.
I have no clue on where to find the “merchant ID” “access key ID” or “secret access key”
my account pages are not like what is shown in the link above and it a personal account not pro as that is too expensive to be paying around 40 bucks a month just to take amazon payments.
Without having the amazon pro merchant account is there a way to accept CBA?
From what I can see you only get an email from Amazon telling you that you have a sale. The item is not removed from you booth and you have to manually remove it yourself and mark it paid. If this is the case I am not going to be using CBA. This is a total PITA to do and not worth it. Sorry but unless it can be utilized like GCO this is totally worthless as a payment method IMO.
no button will appear on the listing but the payment accepted that is displayed on the listing page indicates that the seller accepts Checkout by Amazon

Hi everyone,
We had a mis-configuration of our callback address, so the callbacks from Amazon weren’t correctly reaching Bonanza. It’s being corrected now, so purchases made from this point on will correctly be marked as paid on Bonanza.
You do not need to enter any settings in Seller Central for the Amazon integration to work. The Checkout Pipeline Integration settings are sent from Bonanza to Amazon, so any values set in your account will not be used.
And based on what Jordo said, we can use the same Amazon account for multiple booths even though the pipeline settings page would only show our one booth URL….I am glad about this because I’ve got so many different passwords, etc, to keep up with as it is
so happy I am an international seller. CBA is not available to us just like Google checkout is not available either. Besides I don’t like someone else telling me when I have to ship by. I endeavour to ship withing in 24 hours of having “received payment”. That should be good enough for anyone. I will not ship until I have the $$$$$
Just wanted to leave a final comment to say Thank You for adding this option for us. We’ve been waiting a long time, and it has finally come! Received two sales through CBA the day I added it.
I got to Amazon’s page via the link here — three times. Each time I did it IE broke down. The third time my computer did a crash dump. It’s probably just me. But, before I try all of this again, will someone please tell me two things:
1. How do the fees compare to PayPal’s?
2. Can shipping labels and packing slips be printed right from the Amazon site or does a seller have to go to usps.com for the shipping label and then type up a packing slip?
For that matter, has Google changed so that #2 can now be done? I left Google Checkout because it didn’t have that function; this I learned only after a customer paid. The other day when I went to Google’s site (that’s always fun) (: to try to find if they’d updated the function, but I could find no information.
I personally like to include a pack slip from Bonanza so that the buyer gets a visual reminder of where they made the purchase. Shipping labels can also be printed in PayPal, USPS, and other sources TOO just as is done with GCO. The link for shipping through PayPal for sales not processed through them is http://www.paypal.com/shipnow
Comparatively, the fee is close to the same what the others charge, and in cases of sales under $10.00, I think CBA is cheaper. (5% + $.05)

Sorry – but cannot use Amazon payments anymore than Google Checkout.
Anything else for us “non-us” sellers ??
Woo HOO!
All set up! Fast,easy and painless! Thank you!
Where can we find out details like what are they going to charge us for their service, etc.?
The more the merrier!
Read Here: https://payments.amazon.com/sdui/sdui/index.htm
After changing your payment types in your sell key, you can access the help guide that shows you were to access your security keys.
Thanks Moms! I have to check this out, this is wonderful!
I just signed up with Amazon and I can’t figure out where or how to get a merchant key! I did figure the access and secret keys out. All I’m finding is something about Amazon Marketplace Web Service with some options. Where do I get the merchant key to link to Bonanza?
WOO HOO.. going to check it out and may sign up! This could be a wonderful improvement for US
Nice and very helpful step by step instructions…
Hi GeneralVarietyStore,
We have a fairly detailed help page – check out step 2 for the Merchant ID and let us know if you have any trouble: http://www.bonanza.com/site_help/booths_setup/checkout_by_amazon_setup
Anyone know if this is available to Canadians?
johngermaine:
Pricing is located at https://payments.amazon.com/sdui/sdui/business/cba#pricing
Do we need to give them a callback URL for Bonanza notifications? I noticed there was a place for it under Checkout Pipeline Settings but there was no mention of it in the instructions.
@sparklemotion – nope, there is no need to enter a callback URL.
I’m wondering the same thing:
Successful Payment Return URL
Cancel Payment Return URL: currently shows my site? Should I remove this as I don’t use it there.
Instant Order Processing Notification Settings
Merchant URL
Thanks, jordo. I think that means I’m all set up.

You need a US billing address and US phone number, according to what I read. :(

Sounds great! NOW, … it’s just a matter of getting my tech feeble self to get through the process.

Please spell out acronyms for those of us who may not know what they are, such as “CBA”. Thanks!

ok so if I have done it all correctly it should work, fingers crossed here as it was a bit of a hassle with setting the new email account for it.
I took some screen shots of the back end of CBA if you want to take a peek here it is: http://www.bonanza.com/forums/1/topics/168192?page=1#posts-2330943
And based on what Jordo said, we can use the same Amazon account for multiple booths even though the pipeline settings page would only show our one booth URL….I am glad about this because I’ve got so many different passwords, etc, to keep up with as it is
I hope A doesn’t mind if we use the CBA logo cuz I just snagged it and added it to my booth panels.
Thanks for adding this option!
so happy I am an international seller. CBA is not available to us just like Google checkout is not available either. Besides I don’t like someone else telling me when I have to ship by. I endeavour to ship withing in 24 hours of having “received payment”. That should be good enough for anyone. I will not ship until I have the $$$$$
Yahoo! I’m delighted that we can now accept Amazon payments. I signed up today with no problem…the instructions worked great for me. Thanks, Bonz!
Just wanted to leave a final comment to say Thank You for adding this option for us. We’ve been waiting a long time, and it has finally come! Received two sales through CBA the day I added it.
I’m with Moms. TY for giving us this option! I also had a sale right away where the buyer used CBA.
I got to Amazon’s page via the link here — three times. Each time I did it IE broke down. The third time my computer did a crash dump. It’s probably just me. But, before I try all of this again, will someone please tell me two things:
1. How do the fees compare to PayPal’s?
2. Can shipping labels and packing slips be printed right from the Amazon site or does a seller have to go to usps.com for the shipping label and then type up a packing slip?

The other day when I went to Google’s site (that’s always fun) (: to try to find if they’d updated the function, but I could find no information.
You can print a packslip from the Amazon Payments page, and according to this link, it looks like you can also ship through CBA (Though I wasn’t able to find the access point): https://payments.amazon.com/sdui/sdui/helpTab/Checkout-by-Amazon/Managing-Orders/Printing-Shipping-Labels-and-Packing-Slips
I personally like to include a pack slip from Bonanza so that the buyer gets a visual reminder of where they made the purchase. Shipping labels can also be printed in PayPal, USPS, and other sources TOO just as is done with GCO. The link for shipping through PayPal for sales not processed through them is http://www.paypal.com/shipnow
Comparatively, the fee is close to the same what the others charge, and in cases of sales under $10.00, I think CBA is cheaper. (5% + $.05)
Here is a link to their fee’s:
https://payments.amazon.com/sdui/sdui/business/cba#pricing
Signing up for a Business Account will allow you to process credit card payments, where as a personal account will not.
Just signed up for CBA – quick and easy thanks to the excellent instructions. Thanks, Bonz guys!
Signed up, will wait to see if it works. Of course if anyone out there wants to make a purchase and help me out, LOL! Go ahead!
I got my first Amazon checkout sale a couple of days ago.
