Decoupling button render and checkout initiation

If you need control of the Amazon Pay button click event, you can decouple the button render action and checkout initiation. Use amazon.Pay.renderButton() to render the button and amazon.Pay.initCheckout() to initiate Amazon Pay checkout.

CODE SAMPLE

var amazonPayButton = amazon.Pay.renderButton('#AmazonPayButton', {
   merchantId: 'xxxxx',
   ledgerCurrency: 'GBP',          
   publicKeyId: 'SANDBOX-xxxxxxxxxx', 
   checkoutLanguage: 'en_GB', 
   productType: 'PayAndShip', 
   placement: 'Cart' 
});

amazonPayButton.onClick(function(){
  // define your custom actions here
  
  amazonPayButton.initCheckout({
    createCheckoutSessionConfig: {  
      payloadJSON: 'payload',
      signature: 'xxxx'
    }
  });
});

Render button using a Checkout Session object

Instead of generating a payload that Amazon Pay will use to create a Checkout Session object, you can also set up an endpoint on your server that calls Create Checkout Session. Set that endpoint in the button render code and the Amazon Pay script will make an AJAX request using that URL each time the button is clicked.

CODE SAMPLE

<body>
    <div id="AmazonPayButton"></div>
    <script src="https://static-eu.payments-amazon.com/checkout.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
        amazon.Pay.renderButton('#AmazonPayButton', {
            merchantId: 'merchant_id',
            createCheckoutSession: {
                url: 'https://mystore/amazonpay/createcheckoutsession'
            },
            sandbox: true, // dev environment
            ledgerCurrency: 'GBP', // Amazon Pay account ledger currency
            checkoutLanguage: 'en_GB', // render language
            productType: 'PayAndShip', // checkout type
            placement: 'Cart' // button placement
        });
    </script>
</body>

Responsive button rendering

The Amazon Pay button is responsive and inherits the size of the container element according to the following logic:

  • If no height or width is specified, the button container defaults to 200px by 45px.
  • If only width is specified, the button container height will be set to 45px. The provided width must be between 150px and 500px or container width will be resized to the closest supported value.
  • If only height is specified, the button container width will be set to 500px. The provided height must be between 45px and 192px or container height will be resized to the closest supported value.
  • If both height and width are specified, the button container will be resized to meet these conditions:
    • The container width must be between 150px and 500px. If the provided width is outside those limits, the container width will be resized to the closest supported value.
    • The container height must be between 45px and 192px. If the provided height is outside those limits, the container height will be resized to the closest supported value.
    • The container height:width ratio must be between 1:10 and 1:2.6. If the ratio is outside those limits, the container width will be set to the provided value and the container height will be adjusted to a supported ratio value.

Enable checkout detail updates

Use amazon.Pay.bindChangeAction() to enable updates in case the buyer wants to select a different shipping address or payment method.

Code sample

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
    amazon.Pay.bindChangeAction('#changeButton1', {
      amazonCheckoutSessionId: 'xxxx',
      changeAction: 'changeAddress'
    });
</script>

Parameters

Parameter
Description
amazonCheckoutSessionId
(required)

Type: string
Amazon Pay Checkout Session identifier
changeAction
(required)

Type: string
Update requested by the buyer

Supported values: 'changeAddress', 'changePayment'

Sign out from Amazon

Use amazon.Pay.signout() to give buyers the option of signing out from their Amazon account.

Best practice: Give buyers the option of signing out after they complete checkout. Bind the function to a “Sign out from Amazon” link on your order confirmation page.

Code sample

<script type="text/javascript">
  document.getElementById('Signout').onclick = function() {
    amazon.Pay.signout();
  };
</script>
