It’s so easy even WE could do it. To use Login and Pay with Amazon, just sign into Woot using “Login with Amazon” on the sign-in or sign-up page. You’ll be asked for your Amazon log-in and password.

3. Do I need a separate Amazon Payments account?

On the “Your Account” page, you can see a list of past orders made using Amazon Payments. You can also specify date ranges and transaction type filters to view the transactions you are interested in. If you wanna, you can click on any transaction through the list view to view the details of that transaction, such as the date when you placed the order and the actual amount that you have been charged or refunded with the dates all that stuff happened.
Incidentally, you can also track your purchases on Woot, via the good ol’ “Stuff You Bought” page. Just sign into www.woot.com via the “Login with Amazon” button and click “Stuff You Bought” from the top right of any page, and you’ll see allllllll your past purchases on Woot. All orders purchased using Amazon Payments will be marked as such and only the shipping address will appear on the “Order Details” page for that order.
7. How can I cancel an order that I made using Amazon Payments?
Hopefully, with a touch of guilt. But you can cancel an order that you made using Amazon Payments in the same way that you would cancel any other order on Woot. Simply log into Woot.com via “Login with Amazon” and visit the “Stuff You Bought” page. If the order is cancellable, you will see a “cancel” button on the “Order Details” page for the order you wish to cancel. If you do not see a “cancel” button, it means your order has already entered our systems for fulfillment. At this point you can try to contact customer service via our support page to cancel the order, but cancellations are not guaranteed if the product has already shipped. Also please be kind to our sweet CS team. They do their best and their job can be tough.
8. What kind of notifications will I receive for my payments using Amazon Payments?
Woot will send you an order confirmation email when you place your order and another email when the order ships. Amazon Payments may also send you emails regarding the exact same order so you can track your payments and refunds. You’ll also receive a “Payment Authorized” email when you place an order using Amazon Payments on Woot. This email provides a confirmation of the payment that you have authorized for the purchase. And you’ll naturally receive an email from Amazon Payments when you are issued a refund.
Additionally, if applicable, Amazon Payments may send you additional emails to notify you if your payment instrument (a.k.a the “cash clarinet”) has been declined so that you can update your instrument, or confirm when you have filed an A-to-z claim with us, or alert you to when your A-to-z claim has been decided, or when your approved payment is cancelled by the seller.
9. How do I locate my Amazon Payments transactions on my credit card statement?
Amazon Payments transactions will have a descriptor format of AMZ*<Woot, Inc.> or amzn.com/pmts WA. You can look for that descriptor on your credit card statement to identify Amazon Payments transactions. We originally wanted it to say YOLO but the lawyers shot that down for some reason.
10. Can I use Amazon Payments for all products that are available on Woot?
Tragically, no! Amazon Payments does not currently support purchases made on wine.woot. If you use Login and Pay with Amazon on Woot and you have items from wine.woot in your cart, we will automatically default to your Woot shipping and payment settings on the Order Review page. If you’ve never entered shipping and payment settings on Woot and have only used Amazon Payments, then you will be redirected to a page where you can enter in shipping and payment information. Should you remove all wine.woot items from your cart, you can continue using Amazon Payments to check out with the rest of your stuff.
