Use Amazon Mobile Payments Service for your Mobile App or Website

November 4th, 2009 MobileFreak

Amazon recently announced its Mobile Payments Service (MPS), which allows developers to add mobile payment functionality inside their mobile website or app.

The service consists of a set of APIs, and in addition to the 1-click buying feature that Amazon has pioneered, the service also allows for cancellations and refunds. In our view, this service should be interesting for mobile developers selling digital content, informational products, or those that would like to sell access to a service for a small fee (i.e. micro-payments).

The image below describes the basic user experience of a mobile site offering the MPS service to its users.
