Updates are so far behind it is no longer compatible with the latest versions of Wordpress/WooCommerce. This is the second time in 3 years I have had to remove it to get my website back online. It’s crazy that a company the size of Amazon can’t keep a simple plugin like this updated. We have regular customers that were using this who now have to go a new route because of this.

It doesn’t work. Come to think of it very few payment methods by Woocommerece work well. Each update creates headaches.

I don’t recommend Amazon Pay. Terrible service and account registration process. I have opened an account with them and their system won’t accept my charge method despite the card ticking all of the boxes of their requirements. I keep on getting error messages that ‘something went wrong’. I have about 10 back and forth emails with their incompetent customer services team who fails to provide ‘support’ to resolve the issue. Proceeding with closing the Amazon Pay account. I was able to open an account with one of their competitors in 5 minutes.
