Comment on Ask HN: how do you process payments?parent

Comments

Does Amazon payments allows 3rd party developers to hook into the P2P-style payments?

Their web site is a bit confusing.. as a consumer, it seems that they offer me P2P micropayment services. As a developer, it seems like they just offer me the ability to bill people.

What if I want to write an application that wraps around their P2P services? (Like an "Email Money" application)?

You can definitely facilitate a P2P transaction - they have 3 entities in each transaction - the sending account, the receiving account and the calling account. All 3 can be different.

Sounds like your app is exactly in the target zone for FPS - I just wish they hadn't neglected the more conventional use cases!
