# 1.5% + $0.01 for Amazon Payments balance transfers. # 2.0% + $0.05 for bank account debits. # 2.9% + $0.30 for credit card for transactions above $10 # 5%+$0.05 for credit card for transactions below $10.

Note: This fee schedule is for payments by US customers only. You can allow non-US customers to pay using credit cards (not Amazon Payments balance transfers or bank account at this time) for an additional charge of 1% of the transaction amount. All transactions are in US dollars.

Question - is there anything other than PayFlow Pro that allows checkout to happen on my site? FPS, Google Checkout, PayPal proper all have checkout on their sites as far as I can tell.

As a consumer, I'd rather have the checkout complete on Amazon.com than on your site. First, Amazon.com has all my payment information already. Secondly, I trust Amazon.com more than I trust your site. I may be willing to give you a small amount of money, but I'm not willing to give you unlimited access to my credit card.

I think that's true for B2C, but if you sell to businesses, they probably don't have an Amazon account with their business CC on record. It also looks more "professional" to have the whole payment process contained in your site.

There are lots of payment processors with API's. Authorize.net is one of the better ones (as is PayFlow Pro).
