Amazon Pay is a fast, easy and reliable method your customers can use to shop at your online store using the payment and shipping information stored in their Amazon accounts.
Amazon PayCode is a new payment option that makes it possible to pay cash for Amazon orders.
When shopping online, if the website supports Amazon PayCode, it appears as a payment option at checkout. The price at checkout is updated to reflect the price in the local currency. After the order is completed, the customer receives a code and instructions on how to pay at a participating Western Union agent location and makes the payment.

Why do cash payment methods like PayCode exist?
In many parts of the world, there are people who do not have a debit or credit card or who do not want to use a card online. Being able to pay in cash gives these users access to e-commerce.
The user generates a code and completes it by paying cash at a partner location. This way, the seller receives the payment securely.
The availability of the service may vary by country and over time; check the company's announcements for the current status.
