How To Work At Amazon Online

[Rebecca Donnelly]

Digitalwallets offer shoppers a more convenient way to manage thepayment cards that they carry in their wallets every day. Instead ofretyping card details every time that they shop, customers can store thedetails of each of their payment cards in a digital wallet and pay byreferring to a saved payment card.

Paying via a digital wallet is more convenient for your customers. So, by accepting digital wallets, you ensure that your customers never choose a competitor simply because you don't accept payments via digital wallets.

Every digital wallet works in a slightly different way, but merchantswill observe similar business logic across all the digital wallets thatwe support. In practice, authorizing a payment using a digital walletworks like this:

Depending on the digital wallet you are integrating the steps willdiffer slightly, and you may need a separate agreement with the digitalwallet provider before you can accept payments through that digitalwallet.

Amazon Payment Services fully supports Apple Pay. You can offer yourcustomers a seamless payment process via their Apple mobile device.Supported payment networks include American Express, Mastercard, andVisa as well as local payment methods such as mada.

When using a credit or debit card with Apple Pay the actual card numbersare not stored on the device, or on Apple servers. Instead, a uniqueDevice Account Number is assigned, encrypted, and securely stored in theSecure Element on the user's device, where each transaction isauthorized with a one-time unique dynamic security code.

Merchants that use Amazon Payment Services can offer payments via ApplePay in iOS applications as long as the user uses iOS 8.1 and above.Refer to Apple's compatibility documentation to learn more about whichdevices support Apple Pay. There are no additional fees to process ApplePay payments, the pricing is the same as other card transactions.

Apple Pay is compatible with most Amazon Payment Services products andfeatures, allowing you to use it in place of a traditional card paymentwhenever possible. Use it to accept payments for physical or digitalgoods; donations, subscriptions, and more.

Note that in addition to the above device requirements, Apple Pay isonly available to cardholders at participating banks in supportedcountries. Refer to Apple's documentation covering participating banksto learn which banks and countries are supported.

You must sign up for an Apple Developer account and complete the ApplePay certification. You also need to obtain the payment processingcertificate in the .p12 file, which you will need to upload to theAmazon Payment Services back office. Your site must have a valid SSLcertificate (meaning the URL pointing to your server must start withhttps).

Very similar to Masterpass, Visa Checkout is a digital wallet thatsecurely stores your customer's credit card details and shippingaddresses. It speeds up the checkout process across thousands of onlineshopping websites because your customer no longer needs to retype theircredit card number every time that they shop.

Note that Visa Checkout can store cards issued by most global paymentcard networks, not just Visa. You can give your customers a simplified,enhanced shopping experience by using Visa Checkout with your AmazonPayment Services facility.

Note that you have two different integration options when it comes tooffering Visa Checkout to your customers: a merchant-hosted checkoutbutton, or a checkout button hosted by Amazon Payment Services.

Masterpass is a digital wallet that securely stores your customer'scredit card details and shipping addresses. Masterpass is operated andmanaged by Mastercard -- you can view the Masterpass websitehere.

You can speed up your customer's shopping experience if your customerhas a Masterpass account because your customer no longer needs to retypetheir credit card number every time that they shop.

Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is an object storage service that offers industry-leading scalability,data availability, security, and performance. Customers of all sizes and industries can useAmazon S3 to store and protect any amount of data for a range of use cases, such as data lakes,websites, mobile applications, backup and restore, archive, enterprise applications, IoTdevices, and big data analytics. Amazon S3 provides management features so that you can optimize,organize, and configure access to your data to meet your specific business, organizational,and compliance requirements.

Amazon S3 offers a range of storage classes designed for different use cases. Forexample, you can store mission-critical production data in S3 Standard or S3 Express One Zone for frequentaccess, save costs by storing infrequently accessed data in S3 Standard-IA orS3 One Zone-IA, and archive data at the lowest costs in S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval,S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval, and S3 Glacier Deep Archive.

Amazon S3 Express One Zone is a high-performance, single-zone Amazon S3 storage class that is purpose-builtto deliver consistent, single-digit millisecond data access for your mostlatency-sensitive applications. S3 Express One Zone is the lowest latency cloud objectstorage class available today, with data accessspeedsup to 10x faster and with request costs50percent lower than S3 Standard. S3 Express One Zone is the first S3 storage class where you can select a single Availability Zone with the option to co-locate your object storage with your compute resources, which provides the highest possible access speed.Additionally, to further increase access speed and support hundreds of thousands ofrequests per second, data is stored in a new bucket type: anAmazon S3 directory bucket. For more information, see What is S3 Express One Zone? and Directory buckets.

You can store data with changing or unknown access patterns inS3 Intelligent-Tiering, which optimizes storage costs by automatically moving yourdata between four access tiers when your access patterns change. These four accesstiers include two low-latency access tiers optimized for frequent and infrequentaccess, and two opt-in archive access tiers designed for asynchronous access forrarely accessed data.

Amazon S3 provides features for auditing and managing access to your buckets andobjects. By default, S3 buckets and the objects in them are private. You have accessonly to the S3 resources that you create. To grant granular resource permissionsthat support your specific use case or to audit the permissions of your Amazon S3resources, you can use the following features.

Amazon S3 provides strong read-after-write consistency for PUT and DELETE requests ofobjects in your Amazon S3 bucket in all AWS Regions. This behavior applies to bothwrites of new objects as well as PUT requests that overwrite existing objects andDELETE requests. In addition, read operations on Amazon S3 Select, Amazon S3 access controllists (ACLs), Amazon S3 Object Tags, and object metadata (for example, the HEAD object)are strongly consistent. For more information, see Amazon S3 data consistency model.

To store your data in Amazon S3, you first create a bucket and specify a bucket name andAWS Region. Then, you upload your data to that bucket as objects in Amazon S3. Each objecthas a key (or keyname), which is the unique identifier for the object within thebucket.

S3 provides features that you can configure to support your specific use case. Forexample, you can use S3 Versioning to keep multiple versions of an object in the samebucket, which allows you to restore objects that are accidentally deleted oroverwritten.

Buckets and the objects in them are private and can be accessed only if you explicitlygrant access permissions. You can use bucket policies, AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies,access control lists (ACLs), and S3 Access Points to manage access.

A bucket is a container for objects stored in Amazon S3. You can store any number ofobjects in a bucket and can have up to 100 buckets in your account. To request anincrease, visit the Service Quotasconsole.

Every object is contained in a bucket. For example, if the object namedphotos/puppy.jpg is stored in theDOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET bucket in the US West (Oregon)Region, then it is addressable by using the URL -EXAMPLE-BUCKET.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/photos/puppy.jpg.For more information, see Accessing aBucket.

When you create a bucket, you enter a bucket name and choose the AWS Regionwhere the bucket will reside. After you create a bucket, you cannot change the nameof the bucket or its Region. Bucket names must follow the bucket naming rules. You can also configure a bucket to use S3 Versioning or other storage managementfeatures.
