What is Amazon Pay?

Amazon Pay is a cloud-based online payment service. It uses the multi-million consumer base of Amazon.com, giving the option to pay with users’ Amazon accounts on external merchant websites. 

Anybody with an Amazon account can use the Amazon Pay button during checkout at partnering merchants. The service doesn’t require creating a new account, remembering old passwords, or re-entering their personal and contact details. Besides, the payments can be initiated with the Alexa voice service. 

Therefore, the payment method significantly increases checkout conversion rates, providing a seamless experience for customers. Merchants also benefit from Amazon’s fraud detection and prevention technology.

How to withdraw money from Amazon Pay

Once you’ve successfully integrated this convenient payment method into your online store, you’ll eventually need to withdraw funds from Amazon Pay to your bank account. 

To do that, you should link a bank account to the service and complete the bank account verification process. Setting up a bank account takes place via Seller Central. The connected account should be ACH-enabled since Amazon can’t directly deposit your funds. Besides, your bank account must be registered in the same country as your Amazon Pay account.

There’s how to set up a bank account step-by-step:

1. Sign in to your account on Seller Central.
2. Click Settings, then proceed to Account Info.
3. Select Deposit Method, and then click Add.
4. In the Amazon Pay area, click Add.
5. Select Use a new bank account.
6. Enter your bank account information, including the bank name and routing number.
7. Click Submit. 

After adding a new bank account, you should wait for three days until automated deposits clear and arrive at your bank account. Modifying your account details happens through the same portal.
