I find it's extremely easy to use Amazon Pay, at least as a consumer. If you have an active Amazon account, and if you have Prime, your features (free shipping) are already connected and ready to use. The advantages are that you don't have to enter new payment info into another new e-commerce site and your Amazon Prime shipping advantages are already built into your options. At least, this has been the case for me the few times I've used it so far - on a couple of different online stores. I also had to cancel an item and the reimbursement went through quickly and easily as well.

What I like best about Skrill is that it allows me to conduct international transactions without having to go through cumbersome deposit and withdrawal processes. I can transfer money to anyone in the globe who has a Skrill account, and they may withdraw it to their bank account with ease. I can also instantly add and take funds from my Skrill account. When it comes to internet transactions, SKrill has been a huge assistance. Removing the most inconvenient process of forming banks online, transferring money that takes days to authenticate, and landing into the recipient's account with extra paperwork required to withdraw money from a bank account.

Cons
  • I've not seen a great deal of advertising across various social medium to promote this product across large industries.
  • I don't know if there is an offline feature where transactions can be made with a "pending" payment status, which ensures the seller the payment cannot be canceled or altered but allows for offline use. I'm not even sure this is a possibility.

  • Skrill needs full verification for big transactions. I think they should increase the limit.
  • Users need to have a European residential address verified in order to get the MasterCard. This facility should be open worldwide.
  • The currency exchange rates aren’t good in Skrill.

We ended up using Tipalti which seems to have solved our specific needs better, though it is more expensive.

Because it's simple to use, works well since we have first set it up and we never had any issues with it.

Support Rating
Amazon Pay gets a rating of 9 because it does not drastically improve the business. That said, it allows us to offer another payment method for users who trust Amazon and will always or only checkout with Amazon Pay. The support team for Amazon Pay is top-notch and will help get all issues resolved.

Amazon Pay in comparison to the other UPI apps is a more trusted platform. The best part is that you can directly do Amazon shopping via Amazon wallet or Amazon UPI. Moreover in comparison to Google Pay Amazon Pay offers more cashback and relevant rewards. Amazon Pay is more recognized if we talk about its presence in the global market.

Skrill does an excellent job for the completion of monetary transactions abroad and it fares very well if I have to send a moderate amount of money. It offers zero transfer fees and a competitive exchange rate with ACH bank to bank transfers and fund transfers funded by debit card transactions.

Return on Investment
  • Amazon Pay instantly boosted our sales when I realized that customs prefer to use it over PayPal as just about everyone has an Amazon account and it makes it easier for them to just check out using Amazon Pay.
  • The processing fees while higher than the others we are using are the only downside to our return in using Amazon Pay.
  • Customers use their Amazon logins for their Amazon pay orders and it is as hassle-free as it gets.
