Amazon Payments

The Amazon Pay integration lets UltraCart merchants accept payments from the hundreds of millions of shoppers who already have an Amazon account, using the addresses and payment methods Amazon already has on file. Buyers click Amazon Pay at checkout, log into Amazon, confirm their order, and they are done — no card entry, no account creation, no manual shipping address. Amazon Pay reports a 35% lift in conversion versus native merchant checkouts in independent Comscore research.

Amazon Pay is operated by Amazon and gives merchants access to the trust signal of one of the most recognized brands on the internet. Shoppers see a familiar logo, log into a service they already use daily, and complete checkout faster than any guest flow can match. For first-time visitors to an UltraCart store, this is often the difference between a completed order and an abandoned cart.

UltraCart now delivers Amazon Pay through the Stripe gateway integration rather than as a standalone connection. Merchants connect Stripe to UltraCart once, and Amazon Pay turns on as an Additional Payment Method alongside cards, Link, and Klarna. There is no separate Amazon Pay merchant account to apply for, no second set of API keys to manage, and no extra monthly fee. Amazon Pay transactions settle through Stripe with the same reporting, refund flow, and dispute handling as every other Stripe payment.

Amazon Pay surfaces through UltraCart's Visual Builder Express Checkout element (checkoutexpresscheckoutstripe), which is included in the latest UltraCart themes and can be added to custom themes manually. Like all Stripe Express Checkout methods, Amazon Pay is available for standard one-time orders but is suppressed on auto orders and upsell-after offers, where credit cards remain the supported payment path.
