Likelihood to Recommend	I find it's extremely easy to use Amazon Pay, at least as a consumer. If you have an active Amazon account, and if you have Prime, your features (free shipping) are already connected and ready to use. The advantages are that you don't have to enter new payment info into another new e-commerce site and your Amazon Prime shipping advantages are already built into your options. At least, this has been the case for me the few times I've used it so far - on a couple of different online stores. I also had to cancel an item and the reimbursement went through quickly and easily as well. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Authorize.net is reliable and I feel confident that customers' information is protected. The security protocols used by Authorize.net appear to be as good, and probably better than many credit card payment processors. However, the initial setup process was very difficult. I distinctly recall getting up and running as being very cumbersome and time-consuming. I also was disappointed with how the processing and deposit of payments were not consistent. I distinctly remember regretting the decision to go with Authorize.net. However, as mentioned before, with the time and effort required to get the account set up and running, I refused to go through the process again and try a different provider.

Pros	Amazon Pay is an easy platform to integrate with shopping sites Amazon Pay is easily integrated with a WordPress site for receiving the money from users You can book air tickets, bus tickets, and railway tickets using Amazon Pay, and it is completely safe and secure. Amazon Pay is simple and one can send the money easily Incentivized Ramakant Rout Digital Marketing Profession Read full review	All payments are automatically sent straight into bank account almost instantly! Is a reliable and secure payment processing company with robust security protocols to help against chargebacks. It has very good compatibility with wordpress plugins such as woo-commerce or gravity forms. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	I've not seen a great deal of advertising across various social medium to promote this product across large industries. I don't know if there is an offline feature where transactions can be made with a "pending" payment status, which ensures the seller the payment cannot be canceled or altered but allows for offline use. I'm not even sure this is a possibility. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	The lack of data portability is a big issue for me. Authorize.net uses the same $49.00 gateway setup fee to scam merchants out of money, which is no better than any of the other gateways out there. Their customer service is not up to the mark. You can get stuck if you need any help from their end. Incentivized Mona Rajhans Software Engineer Read full review

Support Rating	Amazon Pay gets a rating of 9 because it does not drastically improve the business. That said, it allows us to offer another payment method for users who trust Amazon and will always or only checkout with Amazon Pay. The support team for Amazon Pay is top-notch and will help get all issues resolved.

Alternatives Considered	Amazon Pay in comparison to the other UPI apps is a more trusted platform. The best part is that you can directly do Amazon shopping via Amazon wallet or Amazon UPI. Moreover in comparison to Google Pay Amazon Pay offers more cashback and relevant rewards. Amazon Pay is more recognized if we talk about its presence in the global market.

Return on Investment	Amazon Pay instantly boosted our sales when I realized that customs prefer to use it over PayPal as just about everyone has an Amazon account and it makes it easier for them to just check out using Amazon Pay. The processing fees while higher than the others we are using are the only downside to our return in using Amazon Pay. Customers use their Amazon logins for their Amazon pay orders and it is as hassle-free as it gets. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Lets us charge cards so we can get paid on time, every time. It was very difficult to setup the DocuSign integration the first time, but after we got it setup, it's made the onboarding process very easy. That probably saves about 30 minutes every time we get a new client. Incentivized McKay Salisbury President Read full review
