Creating a new Amazon Pay Account

Updated: February 11, 2021

In order to integrate Amazon Pay into your e-commerce solution, you will need to create an Amazon Pay account, an Amazon Seller Account and a Client Login application.

1. Navigate to https://pay.amazon.com/signup and fill in the form to create a new AmazonPay Account. Press Continue.
   
2. You may choose to link an existing Seller Account or create a new account.
   
3. Once you've created the Amazon Pay account and Amazon Seller Accounts, you can proceed to set up the JoomlaGears integration.

Users will need to authenticate with Amazon on your site before being allowed to purchase products. In order to facilitate this, you'll need to set up a new Amazon Pay Client/Store ID configuration.

1. Log into your Amazon Seller account at sellercentral.amazon.com
2. Click the menu item Integration > Integration Central.
   
3. If you have not created a client ID / store ID, scroll to the bottom and click the link to create the IDs.
   
4. Enter an application or store name, description and URL to a privacy policy.
   Enter a value for "Allowed Javascript Origins" as the full URL to your home page, ex. https://yoursite.com/
   Click Save Changes.
    

You'll need to gather several pieces from your Seller Central Account to configure the Amazon Pay plugin.

1. Click the menu item Integration > MWS Access Key
   
2. Select the Application Name of the client ID / store ID created in the "Login Client" section above.
3. Gather Seller ID (A), MWS Access Key ID (B), MWS Secret Access Key (C), Client ID (D), Client Secret (E)
4. Open your AmazonPay plugin (payment_amazonpay) in the Joomla backend Plugins area. 
5. Enter the keys from #3 into the plugin parameters and save.
