Quite a few companies including Google, ebay and others have tried to shorten the steps involved in shopping/checking out as short and simple as possible.

Today Amazon launched a new service as part of Amazon Payments which makes checking out a little more easier and secure.

Amazon introduced something called Amazon Payphrase which lets you choose a phrase, e.g. “Crazy Geek”, assign a 4 digit security pin and attach a shipping address and a credit card number.

Once you setup a PayPhrase, it can be used on any site which uses Amazon Payment system. DKNY, Jockey, Buy and JR are few of the sites using Amazon payment system.

Following wizard will take you through the process of setting up your own PayPhrase and remember these PayPhrases are unique across the Amazon Payment system, meaning if I create a PayPhrase “Technology Nerd” no one on the network can create the same PayPhrase and each account can hold upto 20 PayPhrase only. Once created these PayPhrase’s can be edited/deleted from your Amazon Payments account.

Alright here goes..

Step 1: Choose a PayPhrase

Step 2: Assign spending limits and E-mail and SMS alerts

Step 3: Assign a Security Pin to the PayPhrase

Step 4: Assign Shipping and Credit Card information and you are all set to use your PayPhrase!

Once PayPhrase is setup the checkout process on the sites using Amazon Payments system involves only 3 steps..

1. Enter PayPhrase
2. Review and Confirm Order
3. Order Placed

That’s simple isnt it? Click here to visit Amazon Payments and setup your own PayPhrase!
