Amazon Pay offers a range of financing and payment plans to help you manage your purchases more easily.

You can split the cost of an item into 6 interest-free payments over 6 weeks, which can be a great option for big-ticket items or unexpected expenses.

To be eligible for this plan, you'll need to have a payment method on file with Amazon and meet certain creditworthiness requirements.

This plan is a great way to budget your purchases and avoid interest charges.

Amazon Payment Options

Amazon offers payment plans through their website, allowing shoppers to split payments over time. These plans are available through Amazon, Amazon store-branded credit cards, or third-party services.

You can choose from 0 percent financing options, such as the Amazon Monthly Payment Plan, or use a credit card with a 0 percent introductory APR.

If you're not eligible for Amazon Monthly Payments, you can consider alternative credit cards like the Prime Visa offered by Chase or Synchrony's Amazon Prime Store Card.

Here is a list of supported values for the buttonColor parameter in the Amazon Pay Component:

Amazon Payment Plans

Amazon offers various payment plans to help you manage your purchases. You can choose from Amazon Monthly Payments, Amazon Special Financing, or third-party financing options.

Amazon Monthly Payments allows you to pay over four months with no interest charges or fees. This option is available for select products, and you can determine eligibility by checking the product page.

To take advantage of Amazon Monthly Payments, simply select the monthly payment option at checkout, and Amazon will break up the payments into five installments. The first payment is due when the product ships out and includes all shipping, handling, and taxes.

You can pay in five installments or pay the amount off sooner, but you can't stretch out payments past the four-month mark. This option is not based on your credit score, so there's no credit pull required.

Here are some key benefits and limitations of Amazon Monthly Payments:

  • This option is only available on select products.
  • You can pay in five installments or pay the amount off sooner.
  • You are limited to one product category or Amazon device per monthly payment program.

Amazon Special Financing offers a 0 percent APR for six to 24 months, depending on the purchase size. This financing option is typically available to Amazon store cardholders, but Amazon Prime Visa cardholders may also qualify.

You don't have to make minimum monthly payments, but you'll be responsible for any interest charges for the payment period if you don't pay the entire balance before the final due date.

To show Amazon Pay in your payment page, you'll need to create a DOM element for the Amazon Pay component. This element should be placed where you want the button to be rendered, such as a checkout or cart page.

The default color of the Amazon Pay button is Gold, but you can change it to LightGray or DarkGray if you prefer. The button is also responsive and inherits the size of the container element.

You'll need to specify the environment as "test" to start, and change it to "live" when you're ready to accept live payments. The locale should match the region where your Amazon Pay account was registered, such as en_GB for the UK.

Here are the required parameters for the Amazon Pay component instance:

You can also specify optional parameters such as deliverySpecifications, chargePermissionType, and recurringMetadata, depending on your use case. For example, if you're selling digital goods, you can set productType to "PayOnly".

Amazon offers payment plans through Amazon store-branded credit cards or third-party providers.

You can opt for a 0 percent financing option with an Amazon Monthly Payment Plan or a promotional offer through an Amazon store card or a credit card with a 0 percent introductory APR.

This payment plan breaks up the payments into five installments, with the first payment due when the product ships out and includes all shipping, handling, and taxes.

There are four subsequent and equal payments charged to your account every 30 days, which are around 20 percent of the purchase price.

If you're struggling to make payments for your purchase, consider the Prime Visa offered by Chase, formerly known as the Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Signature Card.

The Prime Visa is an alternative to Amazon Monthly Payments, giving you more flexibility with your payments.

The Amazon Prime Store Card, offered by Synchrony, is another option for those who need a bit longer to make payments.

This card is a viable alternative for products not eligible for Amazon Monthly Payments.

Amazon Special offers a range of financing options, including Amazon Special Financing, which is essentially a deferred interest payment plan.

You can choose from 6 to 24 months of 0 percent APR, depending on the purchase size, with no minimum monthly payments required. However, if you don't pay the entire balance before the final due date, you'll be responsible for any interest charges.

To qualify for Amazon Special Financing, you typically need to be an Amazon store cardholder, but Amazon Prime Visa cardholders may also be eligible.

Here are the details of the Amazon Special Financing options:

Keep in mind that if you're unable to meet the due date, your purchase could become pricey due to the higher interest rates on these cards.
