What Your Customers See
1-Click Experience
Checkout by AmazonTM can often identify Amazon.com customers shopping on your website (before they login), and offer them the 1-Click® experience. When customers use their 1-Click® settings, they complete their purchase instantly and without leaving your website.
Express Lane Checkout Experience
When Checkout by Amazon identifies Amazon.com customers shopping on your website, and when these customers prefer not to use their 1-Click® settings, Checkout by Amazon offers them Express Lane checkout. This experience allows customers to see all the details of their order summary, and checkout in just two clicks without leaving your website.
Standard Checkout Experience
When Checkout by Amazon cannot identify a customer before login, it still provides a fast and convenient checkout experience at your website - the same secure and trusted checkout experience they enjoy at Amazon.com.
