It is an believes the new payment option will lead to improved services for shoppers such as the ability to manage and track orders, provide purchase history details, and offer instant access to payment methods and shipping addresses all without having to set up accounts on individual websites. Amazon's new service will work on tablets, mobile phones, and desktop computers.

The service has clear benefits for shoppers and it has benefits for online merchants as well. Amazon says that merchants using its new service will get low pricing for payment services and product protection from Amazon. Amazon's payment service never shares the customer's credit card information and purchases are covered by the Amazon A-to-Z Guarantee giving the same transaction protection buyers receive when purchasing on Amazon.com.
