Amazon Payments launched a new service – Mobile Payment Service that brings the company’s payment processing tools to mobile devices. Amazon Mobile Payments Service (MPS) includes a set of APIs (application programming interfaces) that allow mobile developers a new way to sell their wares. Their new mobile payment service means anyone with an Amazon account can make over-the-air purchases.
There are already a number of mobile payment providers, but Amazon is the big player of the e-commerce world with an enormous amount of customer accounts already in use. This could be an excellent option for companies that offer mass-market mobile applications and are looking for ways to easily accept payments.
