Manage Shopper Identity

📘

Buy with Prime API is now available for early access

Sign up for early access to the Buy with Prime API using the 'Sign Up' button below. The API may change as Amazon receives feedback and iterates on it.

Some Buy with Prime queries and mutations take (or require) a shopper's Amazon identity token. The identity token enables you to customize the Buy with Prime experience to the shopper on your site, such as display information based on whether the shopper is a Prime member, pre-populate a shipping address at checkout, and provide more accurate delivery estimates on product detail pages. To get an identity token, you can use Login with Amazon (LWA) or Amazon Pay.

Both identity verification approaches (LWA and Amazon Pay) enable shoppers to sign in using their Amazon account credentials, but the approaches differ in terms of checkout flow and which payment options are available to the shopper:

  • LWA: If you integrate with LWA, you can offer shoppers multiple payment options, including digital wallets, that your site supports.
  • Amazon Pay: If you plan to offer Amazon Pay as the only payment option for shoppers using Buy with Prime, see Use Amazon Pay for Shopper Identity and use an Amazon Pay checkout session token to identify the shopper.
