How to integrate Amazon Pay with Webflow

While Webflow doesn't include native Amazon Pay support in its e-commerce checkout, you can use third-party apps like Foxy.io for quick setup or embed payment buttons directly on your pages, or build custom integrations using Amazon Pay APIs for maximum control over the checkout experience and advanced features like recurring payments.

Use third-party e-commerce apps

The fastest path to adding Amazon Pay to your Webflow site is through Foxy, a cart platform that integrates Webflow's design features with Amazon Pay's checkout system.

After creating a Foxy account and enabling Amazon Pay in their dashboard, embed Foxy's cart snippets into your Webflow site using Custom Embed elements.

Key capabilities with Foxy include:

• Hosted checkout pages that match your brand styling
• Multi-currency support for international customers
• Subscription billing with automated recurring payments
• Inventory management synced across platforms

This approach replaces Webflow's native checkout but maintains your site design while adding Amazon Pay alongside other payment methods.

Take note that Foxy only supports Amazon Pay for merchants in the US.

Use embedded payment buttons

For simpler implementations, embed Amazon Pay buttons directly on product pages or donation forms using Webflow's custom code components.

Add the Amazon Pay button script to your site's head tag, then place button elements where needed:

This method works best for:

• Single product purchases without complex cart functionality
• Donation forms where amounts are predetermined
• Service bookings with fixed pricing

Embedded buttons require server-side backend implementation to handle secure payment processing. The button only initiates checkout, meaning you need to build backend APIs to handle Amazon Pay's Checkout Session creation, payment processing, webhooks, and transaction completion.

Build with Webflow and Amazon Pay APIs

Direct Webflow and Amazon Pay API integration enables features like advanced fraud protection, recurring billing automation, and detailed transaction reporting.

While this approach requires server-side development, it offers complete control over the payment flow and user experience beyond what embedded solutions provide.

Implement dynamic checkout sessions

Create customized checkout experiences that adapt to customer preferences and order details:

1. Initialize checkout sessions via POST /checkoutSessions when customers click your pay button
2. Configure payment parameters including amounts, shipping options, and seller notes dynamically based on cart contents
3. Handle authentication through Amazon's secure login flow while maintaining your site's branding
4. Process confirmations using webhooks to update order status in Webflow CMS collections

The Create Checkout Session endpoint accepts configuration for one-time and recurring payments, multiple shipping addresses, and custom metadata for order tracking.

Automate recurring subscriptions

Build subscription services with automated billing and customer management:

1. Generate charge permissions during initial checkout using chargePermissionType: "Recurring"
2. Schedule automatic charges via POST /charges referencing stored permissions
3. Manage billing cycles with customizable frequencies from the Charge Permission API
4. Handle payment updates automatically when customers change their Amazon payment methods

This enables membership sites, subscription boxes, and SaaS platforms to leverage Amazon's payment infrastructure for reliable recurring revenue.

Process refunds and disputes

Implement comprehensive post-purchase workflows:

1. Issue refunds programmatically via POST /refunds with partial or full amounts
2. Track dispute status through webhook notifications for chargeback events
3. Update order records in Webflow CMS using the Collections API to maintain accurate transaction history. This requires proper API authentication, server-side implementation, and significant custom development.
4. Generate reports by combining Amazon Pay transaction data with Webflow analytics

The Refund API supports instant and scheduled refunds with detailed reason codes for accounting purposes.
