Amazon Pay is Amazon’s own payment solution, launched in 2007 to provide its users with a better, faster and safer way to pay online. In its initial phase, the service allowed users to shop on Amazon’s website with their registered address and credit/debit card information, resulting in fast and smooth transactions. However, now that the service has seen so many upgrades, it does much more than that. Amazon Pay now offers multiple services for merchants and shoppers alike. For example, Sellers can use the Pay Express service to integrate payment processing features into their websites, while shoppers can purchase Amazon Gift and Shop cards.
Originally launched in the US, the service has now expanded to 7 more countries, with India most recently included. In India, Amazon also lets you add and store funds to the digital Amazon Pay wallet. This is very good news, because now shopping on Amazon will be much easier than before. So, if you’re confused, let me show you how you can add money to Amazon Pay:
note: I used Amazon’s India website (Amazon.in) and the Amazon India version of the app to demonstrate the tutorial.
