Verdict

Amazon Pay makes the list at #9 because it effectively leverages Amazon's massive customer base and trusted brand, allowing merchants to offer a one-click checkout experience that reduces friction and boosts conversion.

What customers praise

For customers already logged into Amazon, the checkout process is incredibly fast and seamless, using their stored payment and shipping information.

What customers criticise

It is not a full-service gateway for processing all payments, but rather an alternative checkout button that complements an existing gateway.

Best for

E-commerce merchants looking to provide a fast, familiar, and trusted checkout experience for the hundreds of millions of customers with Amazon accounts.
